المعنى
Becoming known for something negative.
خلفية ثقافية
In Turkish 'mahalle' culture, your reputation is your most important asset. If your 'name comes out,' your neighbors might stop talking to you or inviting you to tea. Almost every Turkish drama involves a plot where a protagonist's 'name is taken out' by a villain. Clearing one's name is a central theme of Turkish storytelling. Trust (Güven) is the basis of Turkish trade. If a merchant's 'name comes out' as dishonest, they will likely go bankrupt because word-of-mouth travels fast. In the Ottoman era, being 'de-listed' or having one's name publicly shamed was a formal punishment for certain social crimes.
Use with 'Dative'
Always remember to add -a or -e to the bad trait. 'Adını yalancıya çıkardılar' (They took his name TO the liar category).
Negative Only
Never use this for someone becoming famous for being good. It will sound like you are being sarcastic or mean.
