Bedeutung
A large residential building
Kultureller Hintergrund
In the Absheron peninsula, 'böyük ev' often refers to a 'bağ evi' (garden house/villa) where families spend their summers. These are status symbols. In villages, a 'böyük ev' is often the ancestral home where the head of the family lives, hosting all holiday gatherings. Similar to Azerbaijan, 'Büyük ev' is used, but 'Kocaman ev' is also very common for 'huge house'. There is a linguistic distinction between the 'böyük ev' (individual house) and 'bina' (Soviet-style apartment block).
Complimenting
If you visit an Azerbaijani home, saying 'Çox böyük və gözəl eviniz var' is a great way to show respect.
Plurals
Never say 'böyüklər evlər'. Adjectives never take the plural suffix in this context.

The Guest Room
Even in a 'böyük ev', the best room is usually reserved for guests. Don't be surprised if the family lives in the smaller rooms!
