뜻
Creating a false perception.
문화적 배경
In Turkish business, 'itibar' (reputation) is everything. Sometimes, companies invest heavily in 'göz boyayıcı' offices or cars to secure loans or partnerships, even if the business is struggling. The term is a staple in Turkish political discourse, used by all sides to accuse opponents of 'show projects' (gösteriş projeleri) that don't solve real problems. Turks value hospitality (misafirperverlik). However, if someone overdoes it to an unnatural degree, it might be whispered that it's just 'göz boyama' to hide family tensions. In rural areas, life is more transparent. 'Göz boyayıcı' behavior is often associated with 'city people' (şehirli) who are perceived as more concerned with appearances.
Use with 'İbaret'

Don't use for people you like
