معنی

Sometimes it is better to be quiet.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Silence is seen as a sign of 'ağırbaşlılık' (dignity). In social settings, being a good listener is often more respected than being a loud talker. The concept of 'Edep' (manners) in the Ottoman court emphasized that one should only speak if their words are more beautiful than silence. Silence (samt) is a spiritual practice. It is believed that God can only be heard in the silence of the heart. While traditional, the proverb is still used in business to advise against revealing strategies too early.
