sözüne güvenmek

to trust someone's word

意思

To believe what someone says.

🌍

文化背景

In traditional Turkish bazaars, many deals are still made with a 'söz' and a handshake. This is called 'sözü senet saymak' (counting the word as a bond). Proverbs like 'Söz namustur' (Word is honor) show that breaking a promise is seen as a loss of personal dignity, not just a mistake. On Turkish Twitter/X, people often use 'sözüne güvenilmez' to call out public figures who change their opinions or promises frequently. Children are taught from a young age that 'sözünde durmak' (standing by one's word) is the mark of a 'good person' (iyi bir insan).

💡

The 'N' Buffer

When adding the dative '-e' to 'sözü' (his word), always use the buffer 'n'. It's 'sözüne', not 'sözüe'.

⚠️

Don't use with 'Inanmak'

While 'sözüne inanmak' exists, it sounds like you are just believing a specific fact. 'Güvenmek' is much stronger and more emotional.
