意思
A term of endearment for something liked.
文化背景
The phrase reflects the 'delikanlı' (brave/sincere) culture where emotions are worn on the sleeve. It's a sign of 'bizden biri' (one of us). The eye was a central theme in Divan poetry, symbolizing the 'mürşid' (guide) or the 'maşuk' (beloved). This phrase is a secularized, folk version of that high-art devotion. In big cities like Istanbul, this phrase is often used with a hint of irony or deep nostalgia for a 'lost' city that was more friendly and less crowded. For Turks living abroad, this phrase is a linguistic 'comfort food.' It is used frequently when talking about things from the homeland.
Use for Relief
The best time to use this is when you find something you thought you lost. 'Gözünü sevdiğim anahtarlarım buradaymış!'
Watch the Ending
Don't forget the 'm' at the end of 'sevdiğim'. Without it, the phrase is incomplete and loses its meaning.

Add 'Be!'
Adding the particle 'be' at the end makes it sound even more native and emotional: 'Gözünü sevdiğim İstanbul be!'
