Su gibi git, su gibi gel : Remember how water travel in a continuous path through earth and it's atmosphere! Comes as rain , the river then evaporates turning in to Gas or as snow flakes. Travels all around the earth and comes back safe ! So Turkish people say it when a loved one is about to go somewhere.

[@enskarakaya]

Su gibi git, su gibi gel and splashing water have a really deep and cultural background. We were a nation that had a lot of wars in the time and parents who give their sons to the military or send them to wars splashing water after them. Because water is a liquid give life to living organism and it's one of origin of the life. Also water is fluid thing and it always find its own way. Whatever blocks it or slowing it, it still can find a way and space to pass it. And people wanted their kids come back as water finding its own way. The people had no idea however and whenever their kids will be back. Also you can replicate samples by adhering to this rule of liquidity of water 😊

Omg you story about the bucket of water was so funny! Usually a bucket of water is thrown behind the car as the person/people are driving off

[@subutaynoyan5372]

A Turk living in another country here; 1) Cab drivers are arseholes about change in Turkey. I don't know how many times a cabbie yammered about not having change, but had to produce about a thousand liras in twenties and fifties when I said I don't have anything other than a 100 bill and it's the middle of nowhere. And shopkeepers are annoying, they expect you to go get changes and then buy whatever you want to purchase, just because they can't get their cash in check. 2) All the mimics and gestures are different in Turkey and it's kinda funny. And that ''Gel'' jesture is not very different than what we use for ''Git'', which is a bit like the mirror version, you wave your arm with a sudden, shoving motion to say go instead of making that sweeping towards yourself. Which is really confusing. The head shake to say ''no'' is not present in Turkey, either. Turks do a backwards nod with their eyebrows raised to say ''no'' which is kinda unique as far as I know. That Italian knock off gesture with your fingertips joined is just to give an ''intensified'' meaning to whatever you mean. So it can be positive or negative. 3) That grandmother is a bit weird, because as you said, you spash the water ''after'' someone, not directly on them. That tradition is pre-islamic. One of the remnants of the shamanism belief system based on nature spirits, deep in Turkish society. Turks used to believe that even mentioning things could make them true. Or at least more possible before Islam. They still kinda do, when you think about it. Most traditional based people would say suggesting things will make them true if you talk about cynical things. So when you throw the water, it kinda means they go without any mishaps. Because water moves on its destination and always gets to the end of the road, no matter the obstacle. Another incarnation of it for you to grasp: As you probably know by now, ''Kurt'' means ''Wolf'' in Turkish. It also means ''Worm''. Weird, right? The reason for this is the same with the ''Go like water...'' philosophy. Wolves were one of the greatest threats of the nomadic societies. So in order to avoid mentioning their names, and thus calling them out, they used the word for the weakest thing they can get, which is a worm. The proper Turkic word for wolf is actually ''Börü'', which is not even used these days.
