Bedeutung
Asking for repetition.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Azerbaijan, asking for repetition is a sign of respect, showing you value the speaker's words. Similar to Azerbaijan, 'Tekrar eder misiniz?' is the standard formal equivalent. In many Turkic-speaking regions, formal imperatives are used to show social distance and respect. Politeness markers like 'zəhmət olmasa' (please) are essential in all formal requests.

Always add 'zəhmət olmasa' to make your request sound polite and natural.
