Confirmation of agreement.
Contexte culturel
In Turkish business, 'tamamdır' is often used to cut through long bureaucratic discussions. It signals that a decision has been made and it's time to move to action. On WhatsApp, 'Tamamdır' is often accompanied by the 'OK' hand emoji (👌) or the thumbs up (👍). It is considered polite and efficient. When a guest asks for something (like a glass of water), the host might say 'Tamamdır' or 'Hemen' (Immediately) to show they are happy to help. In a bazaar, 'tamamdır' is the magic word that ends the bargaining process. Once both parties say it, the price is fixed and cannot be changed.
