Contexte culturel
When guests are leaving, hosts often give them food or tips for the journey. The guest says 'Aklımda bulunsun' to show they value the host's care. In Turkish meetings, hierarchy is important. Using 'Aklımızda bulunsun' (Let it be in our minds) is a way for a leader to acknowledge a subordinate's idea without committing to it immediately. On WhatsApp, Turks often use this phrase when someone shares a location or a link. It's the equivalent of 'Saved' or 'Noted.' Parents use 'Aklında bulunsun' as a soft warning to children, less harsh than a direct 'Don't do that.'
The 'Plural' Trick
If you are with a group, always use 'Aklımızda bulunsun.' It makes you sound like a natural part of the group.
Don't over-use
If you say it to every single thing someone says, you might sound like you aren't really listening or you're just being dismissive.

The Polite 'No'
If someone is pushing a product or an idea you don't like, say 'Aklımda bulunsun, lazım olursa ararım' (I'll keep it in mind, I'll call if I need it). It's a very polite way to say no.
Shortening
In very casual settings with close friends, just saying 'Aklımda' (In my mind) with a nod is enough.
