A1 Expression 正式

Afedersiniz

Excuse me

意思

Used to get attention or apologize politely.

🌍

文化背景

In crowded cities like Istanbul, 'Afedersiniz' is often shortened in pronunciation to 'Afdersiniz' or even 'Pardon' to keep up with the fast pace. When visiting a Turkish home, if you need to leave the room briefly, saying 'Afedersiniz' or 'Müsaadenizle' (with your permission) is expected. In Turkish offices, hierarchy is respected. Always use 'Afedersiniz' when entering a superior's room, even if the door is open. On buses, 'Afedersiniz' is the polite way to ask people to move so you can reach the exit. It's often said loudly so the driver hears you too.

🎯

The 'Bakar mısınız' Combo

For maximum politeness with waiters, say 'Afedersiniz, bakar mısınız?'

⚠️

Avoid 'Afedersin' with Elders

Even if you are at an A1 level, using the informal version with an older person can seem rude.
