A2 Expression 非正式

Seni dinliyorum

I am listening to you

意思

Confirming attention to someone.

🌍

文化背景

Active listening is often accompanied by small verbal affirmations like 'hı-hı', 'evet', or 'aynen'. Silence can be misinterpreted as boredom or disagreement. In Turkish meetings, saying 'Sizi dinliyorum' while leaning forward slightly is a sign of respect for the speaker's authority or expertise. Younger generations might use 'Sendeleyim' (I am on you) as a slang version of 'Seni dinliyorum' in very casual texting. Children are expected to say 'Sizi dinliyorum' or 'Efendim' when their parents call them, showing 'saygı' (respect).
