Significado
A clean sheet of paper.
Contexto cultural
The color white is associated with 'Ağ yol' (White path), a blessing given to travelers for a safe journey. Similar to Azerbaijan, 'Beyaz sayfa' (White page) is used more frequently than 'Beyaz kağıt' for the idiom, but the meaning is identical. In Tabriz and other regions, 'Ağ kağız' is used with a heavy emphasis on the purity of intention (niyyət). White (Ak/Ağ) represents the West and the nobility in ancient Turkic cardinal directions and social hierarchies.
Use it for Forgiveness
If you've had a fight with an Azerbaijani friend, saying 'Ağ kağızdan başlayaq' is one of the most effective ways to show you are sincere about moving forward.
Don't over-pluralize
Keep it singular when talking about a 'fresh start.' Pluralizing it makes it sound like you're talking about office supplies.
