Usage notes

[edit]

Used as a title, the word is usually capitalized and followed by a person’s name, often her surname or full name (as in “Bayan Ayşe Demirel”). This is unlike the more traditional title hanım, which is used after a person’s name, most commonly just her given name (as in “Ayşe Hanım”).
