Bedeutung
Behaving well to be liked by others.
Kultureller Hintergrund
First impressions are often tied to 'adab-ı muaşeret' (rules of etiquette). Offering tea, using 'abi/abla' (older brother/sister) for those slightly older, and standing up when an elder enters the room are key to leaving a good impression. In Turkish business culture, the first 15-20 minutes of a meeting are usually for small talk. Rushing into business immediately can leave a 'cold' or 'rude' impression. Young Turks are very conscious of their 'izlenim' on Instagram and LinkedIn. A 'cool' or 'professional' feed is seen as a digital 'izlenim'. Being 'beyefendi' (gentlemanly) or 'hanımefendi' (ladylike) is the traditional way to leave a good impression on a first date in Turkey.
The Power of 'Üzerinde'
Using 'X üzerinde iyi bir izlenim bırakmak' sounds more professional and sophisticated than using the locative '-de'.
Avoid 'Yapmak'
Never say 'izlenim yapmak'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers. Stick to 'bırakmak'.
