🌍

문화적 배경

When a host says 'birazdan burada' about a guest, it's a signal to start the final preparations. In Turkey, serving tea the moment a guest arrives is crucial. Due to unpredictable traffic, 'birazdan' can sometimes be an optimistic estimate. It's socially acceptable to use it even if you are 20 minutes away to keep the mood positive. Turkey has a very advanced delivery culture (Getir, Trendyol). 'Birazdan kapınızda' (Soon at your door) is a common marketing slogan. Being 'soon' is often more about the intention of arriving than the exact minute. It reflects a 'polychronic' time culture where relationships matter more than the clock.

Don't use for 'A little'
