뜻
A moment where a major decision is needed.
문화적 배경
Kemal Tahir's novel 'Yol Ayrımı' is a seminal work that explores the transition from a single-party to a multi-party system in Turkey, using the phrase as a metaphor for national identity. The 2017 film 'Yol Ayrımı' starring Şener Şen tells the story of a ruthless businessman who changes his life after a near-death experience, illustrating the personal 'crossroads' perfectly. In rural Anatolia, 'yol ayrımı' points were historically significant for shepherds and nomads (Yörüks) to decide which pasture to lead their flocks to for the season. On Turkish LinkedIn or Twitter, 'yol ayrımı' is frequently used by professionals announcing a career change or leaving a long-term company.
