Hikayeye

Hikayeye is a term primarily used in Turkish literature and storytelling. It translates roughly to "narrative" or "story" and refers to a genre of prose that recounts a series of events, often involving characters and a plot. While it can encompass a wide range of fictional or non-fictional accounts, in literary contexts, hikayeye often implies a focus on the development of a story with a beginning, middle, and end.

This form of writing can vary in length, from short anecdotes to longer, more intricate tales. The key element is the act of recounting events in a sequential manner to engage a reader or listener. Hikayeye can be found in various forms of media, including traditional oral storytelling, written literature, and even modern digital formats. It is a fundamental building block of communication and entertainment, serving to convey experiences, impart lessons, or simply to captivate an audience. The term is broad enough to cover personal recollections, historical accounts, and purely imaginative creations.
