Direkt gelişine yatıp uyuyacağım

[G_mut]

Hi everybody. I hope you are well and staying safe. In episode 1 of Baba Candır I came across the following dialog:

Baba: Oğlum elini yüzünü yıka da kahvaltıya otur hadi.
Egemen: Baba hiçbir şey yiyecek hâlde değilim. Direkt gelişine yatıp uyuyacağım.

In the last sentence I understand the meaning, but the suffix on geliş is confusing me. It should be his "coming/arrival" that he's talking about, but the suffix is indeed confusing. I listened carefully and that's what he says. Wouldn't "eve gelir gelmez direkt yatıp uyuyacağım" be a better and less confusing way to convey the same message?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Isn't Egemen at home? If not, why does Baba say that "Oğlum elini yüzünü yıka da kahvaltıya otur hadi"? If so, the phrase "eve gelir gelmez" is wrong. I think the phrase "Direkt gelişine yatıp uyuyacağım" is a garbled phrase and the phrase "direkt yatıp uyuyacağım" is enough on its own here.

Egemen had just got home from his hospital shift. So, his dad asked him to wash and have breakfast.
I agree, "eve gelir gelmez" is wrong here, because he's already at home. So, I'll just disregard "gelişine". Still though, do you have any idea to whose "geliş" it refers?

geliş in the football/soccer context is to kick the ball as it comes to the foot wıthout deliberation.

Maybe that helps.

Hello!

I think he just means "geldiğim gibi", "hemen", "başka bir şey yapmadan" like eating something as his father offered. So we may translate it roughly as "I will go to sleep as I came". But I don't think it is commonly used because I've never heard of nor used it in this way.

Thanks a lot everybody for your help. This is a TV show, and I regularly come across things that are either not very grammatical (colloquial usage) or, like the example above, don't make much sense. I guess I'll have to live with this

No explanation can justify this usage since it does not exist.

I understand you mean that this usage doesn't exist, although it's right there in the TV show (Baba Candır 1.Bölüm, 19:22). Why would the script writer use an expression that doesn't exist in Turkish?

Although internet usage is very rare, in fact as i have early said that it is a football term if you ask me, we Turkish ppl are mostly football Lovers. I can only strongly guess it was an allusion.

But it takes debate..

Have a Nice Day !

it is a football term if you ask me

to kick the ball as it comes to the foot

My interpretation was also based on this usage/meaning. Therefore I construed it as "(I will go to sleep) as I came (without doing anything) " just like RimeoftheAncientMariner said/wrote "....as it comes.."

Why would the script writer use an expression that doesn't exist in Turkish?

I don't know what was on the script writer's mind but as you might have also recognized, it's been quite popular in Turkey to use different regional varieties, colloquial language, odd, interesting characters in tv series. So I think it's just one of those peculiarities.

Thanks a lot once more. I understand you said it probably comes from soccer, and I agree with you, because at some point earlier in the episode, the other son says when his father wakes him up to go to work:

Uyanmak için iki buçuk dakikam daha var. Hem hakemin uykunun sonuna ekleyeceği oynanmamış zaman da var. Gece çişe kalktım, mutfağa indim su içtim falan.

The words in bold are clear evidence of what you said about "gelişine" coming from football. It's a construction which, no matter how odd, colloquial, odd, etc., exists, because it's right there in the episode and in the commentator's description in your post.

Once more thank you all for your help, which I truly appreciate!

Topa gelişine vurmak exists. You can (gelişine) hit an object coming at you.
Gelişine yatıp uyumak doesn't exist. Sorry, I wasn't clear enough.

Regarding your question, I prefer not to talk about it. All I can tell you is that I don't own a TV for ten years.

There is no idiom in Turkish such as "gelişine uyumak". It only exists in "topa gelişine vurmak" and it is a term about soccer, hitting a coming ball without stopping it first. The script has apparently used this term in a "creative" way. It probably means that the guy intends to go to bed immediately, and will fall asleep immediately, without doing anything else before and without thinking about it.
