Bedeutung
Command to cease an action.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Direct commands are often avoided in favor of polite requests. However, in a taxi, 'To'xtating' is the standard and expected way to signal your stop. In the capital, you might hear the Russian 'Ostanovite' used interchangeably with 'To'xtating' due to the high level of bilingualism. Speech here is often even more formal. You might hear 'To'xtatib tursangiz' (If you could stop for a bit), which is even more polite. In these tourist hubs, drivers are very used to 'To'xtating' from foreigners and will react immediately.
The Taxi Rule
Always say 'Aka' (Brother) before 'To'xtating' when talking to a male driver. It makes you sound much more like a local.
Don't be too blunt
Just shouting 'To'xtat!' can sound like an arrest. Always add the '-ing' for politeness.

The 'Pause' trick
