Significado
Proposing something to someone.
Contexto cultural
Bargaining (Pazarlık) is a social art. Making a 'teklif' in a bazaar is expected. If you accept the first price, the seller might actually be disappointed because they missed out on the social interaction. Business offers are often discussed over food. A formal 'teklif' document is usually preceded by several informal 'teklif' conversations during dinner or tea. When offered something (tea, food), it is polite to refuse at first. The host will then make the 'teklif' again. This is called 'ısrar etmek' (to insist). In modern cities, 'teklif yapmak' is used exactly like in the West for job offers and dating, often influenced by global corporate culture.
The Power of 'Bir'
Always use 'bir' (a) when making a specific suggestion. 'Teklif yapmak' sounds like a general business category; 'Bir teklif yapmak' sounds like you actually have an idea right now.
Dative Case Alert
Don't forget the -e/-a suffix on the person you are offering to. It's 'Sana', not 'Sen'.

Tea First
In Turkey, never make a serious business 'teklif' in the first 5 minutes. Drink the tea first, ask about their family, then make the move.
