B1 Idiom カジュアル

burnu dik

stubborn

意味

Someone who refuses to change their mind.

🌍

文化的背景

In traditional Turkish companies, hierarchy is strong. A 'burnu dik' manager might be seen as 'strong' by some, but modern startups view it as a major barrier to 'ortak akıl' (collective wisdom). Many Turkish proverbs emphasize humility, such as 'Alçak uçan yüce konar' (He who flies low perches high). 'Burnu dik' is the antithesis of this cultural ideal. In the Ottoman court, keeping one's head slightly bowed was a sign of respect. A 'burnu dik' posture would have been a sign of rebellion or grave disrespect to the Sultan. On Turkish Twitter/X, 'burnu dik' is often used to criticize influencers or politicians who refuse to apologize for 'gaf' (blunders).

💡

Possessive Match

Always match the 'nose' to the person. If you are talking about yourself, say 'burnum dik'.

⚠️

Don't use for compliments

Even if you admire someone's resolve, 'burnu dik' sounds like an insult. Use 'kararlı' (determined) instead.
