Significado
Gaining someone's favor.
Contexto cultural
In Turkey, relationships often matter as much as technical skills. 'Göze girmek' is a vital part of career progression. Teachers in Turkey are highly respected authority figures. Being a 'gözde' (favorite) student is usually seen as a reward for discipline. Gaining the favor of elders (parents, grandparents) is a core value. It often involves showing 'saygı' (respect). The idiom reflects the historical need to be noticed by the Sultan in a vast empire where personal connections were key.
Use Possessives
Always remember to say WHOSE eye you are entering. It's never just 'göze girdim', it's 'onun gözüne girdim'.
Don't Overuse
If you use it too much about yourself, you might sound arrogant. It's better to use it to describe others.
