Quoting Elisa: Can someone translate this, and tell me what the correct meaning is of this idiom?
Dervişim fikri ne ise, zikri de odur
|
It is used when someone says something about a topic and the topic is a strange or different, so you say who said this idiom:dervişin fikri...
Let me write an example:
Usually there is an argument. A and B are talking angrily. A says something erotic and that sentence blames B. B says, "no i am not like what you said, but you must be like it, because you said it."
this part: "because you said it" is nearly this: "dervişin fikri neyse zikri de odur.
directly translation is so near: Dervis says whatever he thinks.
Maybe i wrote some complex, if you dont understand, sorry.

Kadir, thanks again. Glad I missed the 'Easy' character warning - it was worth it to comback and find this Turkish Culture site.
