daha sonra konuşalım

let's talk later

Postponing a conversation.

🌍

문화적 배경

In big cities like Istanbul, 'daha sonra konuşalım' is a vital tool for managing the fast pace of life. It is often said while walking or in transit. Postponing a talk is not seen as lazy; it's seen as prioritizing. However, the 'later' is expected to happen within the same business day if possible. Children use this with parents to avoid lectures, but parents often use it with children to signal that a punishment or a serious talk is coming later. If a guest brings up a problem, the host might say this to keep the mood light and 'tatlı' (sweet).

💡

The 'Mı' Magic

Always add 'mı?' at the end if you want to sound like a polite guest or a considerate colleague.

⚠️

Don't Overuse

If you say this too much without following up, people will think you are avoiding them.

Body Language

A slight tilt of the head and a sympathetic smile while saying this goes a long way in Turkish culture.
