Hiçbir şey bilmiyorum

I know nothing

意思

Admitting total lack of knowledge.

🌍

文化背景

In Turkish culture, admitting you don't know something is often seen as more polite than giving a wrong answer, especially in professional settings. The phrase is the standard translation for Socrates' famous quote, used to teach intellectual humility in Turkish schools. On Turkish Twitter/X, 'Hiçbir şey bilmiyorum' is a common meme used when a new, complex scandal breaks out and everyone is confused. In Turkish courts, witnesses often use this phrase to avoid perjury if they are unsure of the details.
