Giving life to a cause.
문화적 배경
The phrase is often associated with the 'Kuvayı Milliye' (National Forces) during the Turkish War of Independence. It evokes a sense of national duty. Relates to the Janissary and Bektashi traditions where loyalty to the Sultan or the spiritual leader was absolute. Politicians use this to prove they are not in it for the money, but for the 'dava' (cause). Used to describe a love so intense that the lover is willing to die for it.
Use it for emphasis

Don't overuse
