뜻
To feel insulted by something said.
문화적 배경
In Turkey, 'saving face' is crucial. Using 'ağır gelmek' is a way to express that someone has caused you to 'lose face' without being overtly aggressive. Classical Turkish poetry often uses the metaphor of 'heavy' words to describe the pain of unrequited love or the cruelty of a ruler. In 'Dizis' (Turkish dramas), characters often use this phrase during climactic scenes of betrayal, accompanied by long, dramatic silences. If a guest feels they are being a burden, they might say 'Size ağır gelmeyelim' (Let us not be heavy/a burden to you).
Use with 'Haksızlık'
This idiom is most powerful when paired with the word 'haksızlık' (injustice). 'Bu haksızlık bana çok ağır geldi' is a classic C1 sentence.
Dative Case Alert
Always remember: BANA ağır geldi, ONA ağır geldi. Never use 'beni' or 'onu'.
