معنی
To be in a bad mood from the start.
زمینه فرهنگی
Turkish culture places a high value on hospitality and a 'smiling face' (güler yüz). Being grumpy, especially in the morning, is often excused by this idiom to maintain social harmony. In the past, the left side was considered 'uğursuz' (unlucky). This belief influenced architecture and furniture placement to ensure one always stepped out with the right foot. Similar to other Mediterranean cultures, Turks are expressive. The idiom 'tersinden kalkmak' is a way to label that expressiveness when it turns negative. In modern Turkish offices, this idiom is a common 'safe' way to gossip about a superior's mood without using harsher insults.
Use with 'Galiba'
Adding 'galiba' (probably) or 'herhalde' (I suppose) makes the idiom sound more natural and less accusatory.
Avoid with Superiors
Don't say this to your boss unless you are very close; it can sound like you are calling them irrational.
