Significado
The action of smelling a flower.
Contexto cultural
Offering guests something to smell (like cologne or a flower from the garden) is a sign of deep respect and welcoming. The Tulip (Lale) was so revered that it gave its name to an entire era of peace and arts. Smelling tulips was a common pastime for the elite. In Isparta, the 'Rose Harvest' is a major event where people gather to smell and pick millions of roses for oil and perfume. The scent of flowers is a frequent metaphor for the presence of a loved one in Turkish 'Gazel' poetry.
The Accusative Secret
If you want to sound more native, use 'çiçekleri' (the flowers) instead of just 'çiçek' when you are in a specific garden.
Allergy Alert
If you have allergies, you can say 'Çiçek koklayamam, alerjim var' (I can't smell flowers, I have allergies).
