Art/Literary - Idioms / Maxims / Sayings / Idioms | | Turkish term or phrase: Kardeşime kafa taktın. | Greetings,
A relative said this to me recently – I think she meant that I had (wrongly?) decided that her brother thought in a particular way and/or had certain intentions, though I'm not completely sure.
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon |

She means that you, for some reason or other, just don't like or approve the brother in question and try to find faults at everything he does.
It should be "kafayı taktın", though. |
