The gravelly 'uyan yeğen' wake-up call voiced by Ramiz Dayı from the Turkish series Ezel. Fans use it as a morning alarm tone and meme sound for lazy friends.

This is a short compilation of Ramiz Dayı's stern wake-up lines, built around his famous 'uyan yeğen' call, delivered in Tuncel Kurtiz's deep, gravelly, fatherly tone. The voice is slow, heavy and commanding, with pauses that make every word feel like a warning and a piece of wisdom at once. Hearing it first thing in the morning feels both intimidating and comforting, like being shaken awake by a tough old mentor who genuinely cares. That mix of authority, warmth and dark humor is why the clip works so well as an alarm.

Ramiz Karaeski, known as Ramiz Dayı, is a character from the Turkish crime drama Ezel, which aired from 2009 to 2011 and was played by Tuncel Kurtiz. His slow, proverb-filled speeches to his protégé, whom he calls yeğen, became iconic in Turkey long before TikTok. Users began cutting his most commanding lines into alarm tones and wake-up memes, with uyan yeğen becoming the signature hook. The format spread because his voice carries instant authority, turning a simple morning alarm into a joke about discipline and respect.

Pro Tip for Usage

Drop the 'uyan yeğen' line on the hard cut to someone jolting awake, then let his pause breathe before the next quote. Pair it with a dark room brightening or phone alarm close-up, and avoid music under his voice or the gravelly authority gets lost.
