Indulgence

The Turkish word 'keyif' means many things, but pleasure is the main one...as a noun, but there is the verb 'keyif almak' similar to 'to indulge'. Many activities are used with this phrase...çay keyifi (tea pleasure/indulgence) not the tea you have with breakfast or at your desk...but the one you sit back and enjoy, perhaps even immerse yourself in. Plaj keyifi, (beach pleasure/indulgence) sit there and enjoy...

 

Seems to me it is all about taking in the pleasure of that moment, just like this Turkish street cat stetched out on a boat awning enjoying a bit of warm January sun.

 

Enjoy your keyif zamanı Mr Cat. (pleasure time)

 

Apologies to any Turkish speakers for any mistakes...I am still learning...
