معنی
The moment has arrived.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Turkey, if you are a guest, you might hear 'Çay zamanı geldi' (It's tea time) multiple times. It's not just about the drink; it's a signal for social bonding. The phrase is often used to accept things that cannot be changed. If something happens late, a Turk might say 'Zamanı şimdiymiş' (Its time was apparently now). In Turkish startups, 'Zamanı geldi' is a common slogan for launching new products, emphasizing that the market is finally ready for their innovation. Elders often use 'Evlilik zamanın geldi' (Your time to marry has come) to nudge younger relatives, reflecting the cultural importance of family structure.
Add 'Artık' for Emphasis
Add 'Artık' (now/finally) to the start to sound more natural: 'Artık zamanı geldi!'
Watch the Suffix
Don't forget the '-ı' on 'zaman'. Without it, 'Zaman geldi' sounds like a person named Time just arrived.
