THE MEANING ASSIGNED TO THE TERM 'ABLA'(ELDER SISTER) IN FINNISH AND TURKISH

Makale Fin dili ile karşılaştırıldığında Türk dilinde hitabet ve saygı sözcüklerinin kullanımında ortaya çıkan farklı kültürel anlamları, 'abla' sözcüğünden yola çıkarak açıklamaktadır. Finlandiya'da yayınlanan bir gazete, Finlandiya'da Türkçe eğitimi almış bir gazetecinin Türkiye'de çalışmaya anlamlandıramadığından bahseder. Bahsedilen yazı Helsinki Üniversitesi'nde yürütülen Türkçe derslerine götürülüp, 'abla' ve 'hocam' kelimelerine odaklanılarak, hitabet ve saygı ifade eden kelimelerin kullanıldıkları bağlamlara göre aldıkları anlamlar tartışılmıştır. Bu sözcükleri ve 8 farklı hitabet kelimesini kapsayan bir mülakat ile 42 Fin'e kendi kültürlerinde hitabet kelimelerini nasıl kullandıkları sorulmuştur. Veri çözümlemesi sonuçları Türkler için hitabet, saygı ve büyüklük gösteren kelimelerin çok önem taşımasına rağmen, Finlerin genelde ailedeki herkese özel adı ile hitap ettiğini; büyüklere nadiren akrabalık ifade eden sözcükler kullandıklarını; ancak, tanımadıkları beylere, hanımlara veya üniversite profesörlerine saygı ifade eden hitabet sözcükleri kullandıklarını açığa çıkarmıştır

Abla' Kavramına Fince ve Türkçede Yüklenen Anlamlar

This paper illustrates different cultural meanings assigned to terms of kinship, address and honorifics in Turkish and Finnish in regard to the term 'abla' (elder sister) in Turkish. A newspaper article in Finland mentioned about a journalist, who had studied Turkish in Finland and started working in Turkey, was addressed 'abla' in the streets and did not understand why people were calling her like that. The article was brought to Turkish classes at the University of Helsinki and the cultural meanings of the terms of address were discussed by focusing on 'abla' and 'hocam' (Professor). Later, an interview about the use of these terms in their own culture was designed and applied to 42 Finns. Results of the data analysis showed that Finns generally address everybody in the family with first name (FN); elderly relatives seldom with kinship terms; unknown males/females, and professors with honorifics, whereas Turks assign a lot of importance to these terms
