معنی
Knowing how things are done.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Turkey, hospitality is governed by strict 'yol yordam.' For example, the guest is always offered tea or coffee, and refusing without a polite excuse can be seen as not knowing the 'yol yordam.' Turkish business culture relies heavily on relationships. Knowing the 'yol yordam' means spending time on small talk before jumping into business deals. Addressing elders with 'Abi' (older brother) or 'Abla' (older sister) even if not related is part of the social 'yol yordam.' During the marriage proposal process, the bride-to-be serves salty coffee to the groom. How he reacts is a test of his 'yol yordam' and patience.
Observe First
If you are in a new Turkish social setting, watch the elders. They are the masters of yol yordam.
Negative Usage
Saying 'Yol yordam bilmiyor' about someone is a serious social critique. Use it sparingly.
