意思
Something or someone that is decent or acceptable.
文化背景
Even in the humblest homes, Turkish hosts ensure everything is 'yüzüne bakılır' (presentable) for guests. This is a matter of 'misafirperverlik' (hospitality) and personal honor. In Turkish online marketplaces, 'yüzüne bakılır' is a standard descriptor for items that are used but not 'dökülüyor' (falling apart). It signals honesty from the seller. Turkish culture often avoids 'nazar' (the evil eye) by not over-praising things. Calling something 'yüzüne bakılır' is a way to acknowledge quality without attracting envy. In big cities like Istanbul, older neighborhoods are often described as 'yüzüne bakılır' compared to newer, poorly built suburbs, emphasizing character over modern luxury.
