A2 Collocation ニュートラル

Bir şans vermek

To give a chance

意味

Allowing someone to try something.

🌍

文化的背景

In Turkish SMEs (KOBİ), 'şans vermek' is often based on personal references (torpil) rather than just CVs. Giving someone a chance is seen as a favor to the person who recommended them. The phrase is a staple of 'Dizi' dialogue. It usually marks a turning point where a protagonist decides to trust a former enemy or a love interest. The Turkish exam system is very rigid. Students often feel they only get 'one chance' (tek şans) at the university entrance exam (YKS), making the phrase 'bir şans vermek' feel very heavy and significant. If you refuse food in a Turkish home, the host might ask you to 'give it a chance' as a way of showing hospitality and pride in their cooking.

💡

The 'Bir' is Key

Always include 'bir' (one) to sound natural. 'Şans ver' sounds like a command from a god, while 'Bir şans ver' sounds like a request from a human.

⚠️

Dative Case

Don't forget the -e/-a ending on the person you are giving the chance to. 'Ali bir şans ver' means 'Ali, give a chance', but 'Ali'ye bir şans ver' means 'Give Ali a chance'.

🎯

Softening the Request

Use 'bir şans verebilir misin?' (can you give a chance?) to sound much more polite than the imperative 'ver'.

💬

Second Chances

In Turkey, giving a second chance is often tied to the concept of 'hatır' (respect/sake). You might give someone a chance for the sake of their family.
