뜻
Something that will happen very soon.
문화적 배경
Turkish news channels use 'an meselesi' constantly in their 'Son Dakika' (Breaking News) banners to maintain high viewership and create a sense of constant crisis or development. In Turkish football commentary, this phrase is used to build tension. It's almost a superstition; once a commentator says 'gol gelmesi an meselesi', fans expect a goal within the next minute. When a host is bringing tea or food, they use this phrase to reassure guests that they won't be waiting much longer, reflecting the importance of prompt service in Turkish hospitality. In crowded cities like Istanbul, people use this phrase to describe the arrival of public transport or the changing of a long traffic light.
News Watcher
If you see 'AN MESELESİ' in red on a Turkish TV channel, stay tuned—something big is about to be announced.
Grammar Trap
Don't forget the possessive suffix on the verb. It's not 'Gitmek an meselesi', it's 'Gitmesi an meselesi'.

Sound Native
Use 'artık' (now/finally) before the phrase to sound more natural: 'Artık gitmemiz an meselesi.'
Patience
Even if someone says it's 'an meselesi', in a relaxed social setting, it might still take 5-10 minutes. Turkish time is flexible!
