satmaq في 30 ثانية
- Satmaq means to sell goods or services for money in Azerbaijani.
- It is a regular verb following standard conjugation patterns with the stem 'sat-'.
- It can be used literally (selling fruit) or figuratively (selling an idea or betraying a friend).
- The passive form 'satılır' is commonly seen on signs meaning 'For Sale'.
The verb satmaq is one of the most fundamental pillars of Azerbaijani commerce and daily social interaction. At its core, it represents the act of transferring ownership of an item or the provision of a service in exchange for monetary compensation. In the bustling streets of Baku, from the high-end boutiques of Nizami Street to the traditional 'təzə bazar' (new market), you will hear this word constantly. It is the functional opposite of almaq (to buy).
- Literal Commerce
- The most common usage involves physical goods. For example, 'meyvə satmaq' (to sell fruit) or 'maşın satmaq' (to sell a car).
- Abstract Value
- It can also refer to selling ideas, services, or even one's time and labor in a professional context.
- Figurative Betrayal
- In a more dramatic or colloquial sense, 'satmaq' can mean to betray someone, similar to the English 'to sell someone out'.
Mən köhnə evimi satmaq istəyirəm, çünki yeni mənzil almışam.
Understanding the nuances of 'satmaq' requires recognizing that Azerbaijani culture places a high value on the interaction of the sale. It isn't just a transaction; it is often a conversation. When a vendor is 'satmaq'-ing something, there is often an implicit invitation for 'bazarlıq' (bargaining), especially in traditional settings. The verb follows the standard Azerbaijani verb conjugation patterns for the '-maq' infinitive, making it accessible for beginners while remaining essential for advanced speakers discussing complex economic theories or personal betrayals.
Onlar bazarda təzə tərəvəzlər satırlar.
Using 'satmaq' correctly involves mastering its conjugation across various tenses and understanding its relationship with the direct object (the thing being sold). In Azerbaijani, the object being sold often takes the definite accusative case if it is a specific item, or remains in the nominative/indefinite form if it is a general category.
- Present Continuous
- Used for actions happening now. 'Mağazalar endirimli mallar satır' (The stores are selling discounted goods).
- Future Tense
- Expressing intent. 'Gələn həftə mən bu kompyuteri satacağam' (I will sell this computer next week).
Siz nə satırsınız?
When 'satmaq' is used in the passive voice, it becomes 'satılmaq' (to be sold). This is extremely common on signage. You will see 'SATILIR' (For Sale) on cars, windows, and real estate signs across the country. This passive form removes the focus from the seller and places it entirely on the availability of the object.
Bu kitablar çox baha satılır.
If you walk through the '28 May' area or the 'Sederek' and 'Bine' trade centers in Baku, 'satmaq' is the linguistic currency of the environment. Sellers shout their wares, and customers inquire about prices using this verb. However, its usage extends beyond the marketplace into the digital and corporate realms of modern Azerbaijan.
- E-commerce
- On websites like Tap.az or Lalafo, the button to list an item is often labeled 'Elan yerləşdir' (Post an ad), but the action is always 'satmaq'.
- News & Economics
- News anchors frequently discuss 'neft satışı' (oil sales) or the state 'satmaq' assets to international investors.
Bilet kassasında bilet satılmır, hamısı bitib.
Socially, 'satmaq' appears in idioms that describe personality traits. A person who is 'özünü baha satan' (selling themselves expensively) is someone who acts more important than they are or is hard to convince. Conversely, 'dostunu satmaq' (selling one's friend) is a grave social sin, meaning to betray a confidence for personal gain.
For English speakers, the most common mistake is confusing 'satmaq' with 'almaq' (to buy). Because they are often used in the same context (the store), beginners sometimes swap them. Another frequent error involves the case system.
- Case Confusion
- Using the wrong case for the buyer. You sell SOMETHING (Accusative) TO SOMEONE (Dative). Do not use 'ilə' (with) when you mean 'to'.
- Tense Misuse
- Using the simple present instead of the present continuous. In a shop, 'Nə satırsınız?' (What are you selling right now?) is more natural than 'Nə satarsınız?' (What would you sell?).
Səhv: Mən maşın aldım (I bought a car) - when you meant to say you sold it.
While 'satmaq' is the general term, Azerbaijani has several other words for the act of selling or trading depending on the formality and the context.
- Ticarət etmək
- This means 'to trade' or 'to do business'. It is more formal and refers to the whole process of buying and selling.
- Sırımaq
- A slang/colloquial term meaning 'to foist' or 'to push' a bad product onto someone. It's like 'selling' something by deception.
- İxrac etmək
- Specifically means 'to export' - selling goods to another country.
Şirkətimiz xaricə meyvə ixrac edir.
