뜻
To have no financial worries and live comfortably.
문화적 배경
In Turkey, salt was historically a sign of hospitality. However, in this idiom, it represents the hidden infrastructure of wealth. The concept of 'dryness' is often associated with health and wealth in Anatolian folklore, as dampness (rutubet) leads to illness and decay. The phrase is now a staple of 'White Turk' vs. 'Black Turk' socio-political debates, often used to label the elite.
Use with 'Tabii'
Adding 'Tabii' (Of course) before the phrase makes you sound like a native: 'Tabii, onun tuzu kuru!'
Don't use for health
If someone is healthy, don't say their salt is dry. Use 'Sağlığı yerinde'.

자주 묻는 질문
4 질문Yes, you can say 'Şirketin tuzu kuru' to mean the company has strong cash reserves.
It's not a swear word, but it's informal and can be slightly critical. Use it with friends, not your boss.
There isn't a direct 'wet salt' idiom, but you can say 'geçim sıkıntısı çekmek' (to have financial struggle).
Mostly, but it specifically emphasizes the *lack of worry* that comes with being rich.
