意味
Waiting for someone to arrive.
文化的背景
The phrase is a staple in folk songs, often representing the 'Gelin' (bride) waiting for her husband who has gone to work in another city or serve in the army. It is common to use this phrase when welcoming guests to show they were missed and their arrival was the highlight of the day. In Turkey, military service is a rite of passage. The families of soldiers are the most frequent users of this idiom, often counting days (şafak saymak) while their 'eyes are on the road.' In big cities like Istanbul, where traffic is unpredictable, this phrase is used daily in text messages to check on friends' progress.
Use it for Deliveries
To sound very native, use this when waiting for your Trendyol or Getir delivery. 'Kargocu nerede? Gözüm yolda kaldı!'
Possessive Agreement
Don't forget to change 'gözü' to 'gözüm' if you are the one waiting. Using 'gözü' for yourself is a common A2 mistake.
