뜻
To get into a verbal fight.
문화적 배경
In traditional Turkish neighborhoods, an 'ağız dalaşı' is often a public event. Neighbors might watch from balconies. It's a way of social signaling and resolving minor tensions loudly. Turkish political talk shows are famous for guests 'entering into mouth-scuffles.' It is often seen as a sign of passion, though critics argue it lowers the quality of debate. On Turkish Twitter, 'ağız dalaşı' has moved to 'mention' threads. Users often use the phrase to dismiss someone else's aggressive comments as 'petty bickering.' Engaging in an 'ağız dalaşı' is considered 'seviyesiz' (low-level). Turkish parents often tell their children 'seviyesine inme' (don't drop to their level) to avoid such spats.
Use it to sound like a local
Instead of saying 'kavga ettik' (we fought), use 'ağız dalaşına girdik' to show you understand the nuance of a verbal-only spat.
Don't use with your boss
Even if you are right, using this phrase to describe an argument with a superior makes you sound disrespectful.

자주 묻는 질문
5 질문Yes, it generally implies a lack of control and a petty argument. It's never a positive thing to 'enter' one.
Absolutely. It's very common to describe 'keyboard warriors' on social media as being in an 'ağız dalaşı'.
'Tartışma' can be a healthy, logical debate. 'Ağız dalaşı' is always noisy, emotional, and petty.

It's informal, but not quite slang. You can use it with friends, family, and even in some news contexts.
