daldan dala atlamak

to jump from topic to topic

意思

Changing subjects frequently during conversation

🌍

文化背景

In Turkey, conversation is a social art. While 'daldan dala atlamak' is a critique, it also reflects the high-energy, associative nature of Turkish storytelling where one memory triggers another. In Turkish business meetings, people often value building rapport before getting to the point. However, 'daldan dala atlamak' is used when this rapport-building or brainstorming goes too far and wastes time. The idiom stems from a history of oral storytelling (Meddah). A storyteller might intentionally 'jump' to keep the audience engaged, but in normal life, it's seen as a lack of focus.

🎯

Use it for self-correction

If you realize you are struggling to find the right words in Turkish and are switching topics, say 'Kusura bakmayın, daldan dala atlıyorum.' It makes you sound very fluent and self-aware.

⚠️

Don't use with your boss

Even if they are being scattered, this idiom is a bit too informal for a subordinate to use with a superior.

Yes, to describe a character's speech or a poorly structured essay, but don't use it in the essay itself!

There isn't a single idiom, but 'sadede gelmek' (getting to the point) is what you want the person to do instead.
