Bedeutung
Distant.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In rural areas, 'uzaq' is relative. A 2-hour walk might be considered 'yaxın' (near) by a shepherd, but 'çox uzaq' by a city dweller. The concept of distance was historically measured by 'days on horseback'. 'Uzaq' meant several days' journey. Due to heavy traffic, Bakuvians often say 'uzaqdadır' not because of kilometers, but because of the time it takes to get there. Classical Azerbaijani poetry often uses 'uzaq' to describe the unattainable beauty of a lover or the distance from one's homeland (Vətən).
The 'Is' Suffix
Always remember to add '-dır' if you are making a full sentence: 'Uzaqdadır'.
Direction vs Location
Don't use 'uzaqda' with verbs of motion like 'getmək' (to go).
