意思
Being reasonable and sound.
文化背景
Journalists frequently use 'aklıselim çağrısı' (call for common sense) during times of social unrest or political tension to urge moderation. The phrase was central to Ottoman education, where 'selim' (sound) was one of the three requirements for valid knowledge, alongside 'true news' and 'healthy senses'. In many Turkish families, the eldest member is expected to be the 'aklı selim' authority, making final decisions on marriages or business ventures. Authors like Tanpınar use the concept to describe the struggle between Eastern wisdom (aklı selim) and Western rationalism.

Don't Overuse
Using it every five minutes can make you sound like a 19th-century professor. Save it for truly serious moments.
