In big cities like Istanbul, 'Çok naziksiniz' is a marker of 'İstanbul beyefendisi' (Istanbul gentleman) or 'İstanbul hanımefendisi' (Istanbul lady) culture, emphasizing refined speech. Hosts often go to great lengths to make guests comfortable. Guests use 'Çok naziksiniz' to acknowledge the effort, which is seen as a sign of good breeding. Turkish workplaces are often hierarchical.
