Bedeutung
Conducting a professional gathering.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Meetings often start with 10-15 minutes of personal talk about family and health before getting to business. It is culturally expected to offer tea or coffee during any meeting, even a short one. In traditional Turkish companies, the most senior person speaks first and last. Turkish culture values 'istişare' (consultation), so meetings are often used to make everyone feel involved in a decision.
The 'Tea' Rule
If you are hosting a meeting in Turkey, always offer tea. It's the social lubricant of Turkish business.
Don't say 'Toplantı Etmek'
Even though 'etmek' is common, it sounds very wrong here. Stick to 'yapmak'.
