Keeping something in mind when deciding
문화적 배경
In Turkish meetings, 'göz önünde bulundurmak' is often used as a polite way to introduce a counter-argument or a risk without being too direct. A host is expected to consider every detail of a guest's comfort (dietary needs, room temperature) before they arrive. Teachers often use this phrase to encourage students to look at the context of a text or a historical event. Major life decisions (marriage, moving) usually involve 'göz önünde bulundurmak' the elders' opinions, reflecting a collectivist society.
The '-i' Rule
Always check if your object has the accusative suffix. Without it, the phrase sounds incomplete.
Don't Overuse
In very casual talk with friends, 'düşünmek' (to think) is often enough. Save this for when you want to sound more serious or thorough.

The 'If' Clause
Combine it with '-se/-sa' (if) for great impact: '...göz önünde bulundurursak' (if we consider...).
Politeness
Use this to disagree politely. 'I hear you, but we should also consider X' is a very Turkish way to navigate conflict.
