Signification
Asking someone about their activities for the upcoming weekend.
Contexte culturel
In big cities like Istanbul, weekend plans often involve 'AVM' (malls) or 'Sahil' (coastline). People love to walk by the sea. Sunday is traditionally 'Family Day'. Many people visit their parents or elders for a big dinner. The 'Serpme Kahvaltı' is a staple of weekend plans. It involves dozens of small plates shared among friends. For many, the weekend plan is entirely dictated by their team's match schedule (Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray).
The 'No Plan' Rule
If a Turk says 'Planım yok', they are usually inviting you to suggest one. Don't just say 'Okay'!
Watch the Suffix
Always use '-ınız' for people older than you, even if you are friendly. It shows 'saygı' (respect).
