Speaking without thinking or filter.
Contexto cultural
Respect for elders is paramount. Using this phrase toward an elder is a major taboo and can lead to serious social consequences. The phrase is identical in Turkish ('Ağzına geleni söylemek'). Both cultures share the value of 'edep' (manners) and the belief that words have spiritual consequences. In the broader Caucasus, honor is tied to speech. A man who cannot control his mouth is often seen as untrustworthy or weak. In Azerbaijani social media, 'ağzına gələni yazmaq' (writing whatever comes to the mouth) is a common complaint about the lack of civility in online comments.
Don't use it as a compliment
Never use this to describe someone who is honest or brave. It is almost always an insult to their self-control.
Use with 'başlamaq'
It sounds very natural to say 'Ağzına gələni deməyə başladı' (He started saying whatever came to his mouth) to describe the start of a fight.
