Come here

Significado

Directing someone to move toward the speaker.

🌍

Contexto cultural

Hand gestures often accompany this phrase. A common gesture is holding the hand out, palm down, and waving the fingers toward oneself. Palm up is considered less common or sometimes Westernized. The concept of 'Hörmət' (Respect) means that even if you are angry, you should avoid 'Bura gəl' with someone older. It can escalate a conflict significantly. Directness is valued among men in social circles. 'Bura gəl' can be a sign of brotherhood and close friendship, showing there are no formalities between them. Calling children in public: Parents often use 'Bura gəl' loudly to ensure safety, but will switch to 'Gəl, qızım' (Come, my daughter) to be more affectionate.
