뜻
Sending electronic mail.
문화적 배경
Emails are often very formal. Using 'Sayın' (Esteemed) is standard even if you have met the person before. Turkish people often follow up an important email with a phone call or WhatsApp message saying 'E-posta gönderdim, kontrol eder misiniz?' (I sent an email, could you check it?). The use of 'e-posta' instead of 'e-mail' is a sign of 'Öztürkçe' (Pure Turkish) preference, often seen in government and educational institutions. During religious holidays (Bayram), sending mass emails was common in the 2000s, but has now largely shifted to mobile apps.
Use the Dative
Always remember that the person receiving the email needs the -e or -a suffix. 'Bana gönder', not 'Beni gönder'.
Formal vs Informal
Don't say 'mail attım' to your professor; it sounds too casual. Stick to 'e-posta gönderdim'.

The 'İleti' nuance
If you see the word 'İleti' on your phone, it's just the pure Turkish version of 'E-posta'.
