Because, in his poetry, he masterly used the natural beauties, spaces, architectural works, the city’s vibrant and colourful social life, traditions and characteristics of local language, of his city, that is Istanbul in the Tulip Period. He added the Istanbul tongue’s fineness and simplicity to Classic Turkish and used slang, some idioms and proverbs, he formed a phrase suitable to the taste of the Tulip Period. Nedim is a great poet, and he proved this by not just continuing with the Divan Poetry tradition, but at the same time, he expanded “the Localism”, as much as with his language and expressions, also with the local life scenes, traditions, love theme, song and verse form.
