becerdiniz Explanation: This is a normal translation. However, the client thinking about the vulgar meaning of the word within this context, is not normal at all. This is not something like, for example the word "gay" in English, where the sexual preference meaning is now more widely used than the other meaning. "Becerdiniz" is a widely used word in Turkish, in daily life. |
