뜻
Someone who makes mature decisions.
문화적 배경
In Turkish families, the 'aklı başında' member is often the one everyone consults for big decisions like buying a house or getting married. It's a role of high social status. Turkish business culture values 'loyalty' and 'sensibility' often more than raw technical skill. An 'aklı başında' employee is seen as a long-term asset who won't cause drama. The concept of 'Akıl' (Reason) was central to Ottoman philosophy, influenced by Islamic Golden Age thinkers. Being 'aklıselim' was the mark of a true gentleman (Çelebi). In Turkish TV dramas (Dizis), the 'aklı başında' character is usually the voice of reason who tries to stop the protagonist from making impulsive, emotional mistakes.

The 'Deli' Contrast

Negative Usage
Use 'Aklı başında olan her insan...' (Every sensible person...) to start a sentence when you want to state something that should be obvious common sense.
