Significado
Having a very intimate relationship.
Contexto cultural
Turkish culture places a high value on 'samimiyet' (sincerity). Being 'sıkı fıkı' with neighbors is not just common, it's often expected. It involves sharing food, keys, and life stories. In many Turkish offices, the line between professional and personal is blurred. Colleagues often become 'sıkı fıkı', going on vacations together or attending family weddings. Classic Turkish movies often feature 'sıkı fıkı' duos (like Zeki Alasya and Metin Akpınar) who represent the ideal of loyal, inseparable friendship. While 'sıkı fıkı' is still used, younger urban Turks might use it slightly ironically to describe people who are 'trying too hard' to look close on social media.
Use with 'olmak'
Always remember to pair it with 'olmak' (to be/become) to describe the action of getting close.
Not for Business
Avoid using this in formal emails to clients; it sounds too 'buddy-buddy'.

Perguntas frequentes
3 perguntasYou can, but it sounds like you are emphasizing that you are 'best friends' as well as lovers. Usually, 'sevgili' or 'yakın' is used for romance.
No, 'fıkı' has no meaning on its own. It only exists to rhyme with and emphasize 'sıkı'.
Not at all! It's a friendly, warm expression. However, use it carefully about others if you don't want to sound like you are gossiping.
