A2 Idiom ニュートラル

elini taşın altına koymak

to take responsibility

意味

Taking action in a difficult situation.

🌍

文化的背景

In Turkish offices, managers highly value employees who don't wait for instructions during a crisis. Using this phrase in an interview to describe a past experience is a major plus. Family loyalty is paramount. When a family member is in trouble, others are expected to 'put their hand under the stone' without being asked. It's an unspoken social contract. Politicians use this phrase to signal that they are taking 'unpopular but necessary' decisions, like raising taxes or changing laws, for the long-term good of the country. Fans often use this to criticize highly-paid players who don't seem to be trying hard enough. It's about 'fighting' for the jersey.

💡

Use it in Interviews

Turkish recruiters love this idiom. It shows you are a team player who takes initiative.

⚠️

Watch the Possessive

Don't say 'elini' if you mean 'my hand'. It must be 'elimi'. This is the most common learner mistake.
