These features can be about such attributes as conventions, belief, business life, some objects utilized in daily life, sceneries of nature and conventions of tasawwuf and of any features that may recur to mind. In the determination of the social life features in the couplets, the dictionaries under hand may at times prove to be insufficient. It is necessary to consult to sources other than dictionaries to understand some of the terms particularly belonging to daily life or social life. Among these sources, text annotations made within the frame of classical Turkish literature researches, studies of text analyses are considerably significant since they also include the meaning of concepts and terms in the couplets. Moreover, in the studies, which have been recently prepared about the effect of classical Turkish poetry on social life, concepts, terms and expression about social life are explained. In the study, too, concepts and terms, which are in the sense of details from the scenery of social life are tried to be explained in the context of couplets chosen from a wide variety of collection. By way of the study, it is also aimed to demonstrate how well classical Turkish poets observe their environments and to what degree they are benefitting from their observations while expressing their feelings, thoughts and imaginations and displaying their skills. }, number={1}, publisher={İstanbul Üniversitesi}
