Significado
Asking about companionship.
Contexto cultural
Azerbaijanis rarely travel or eat alone. If you are seen alone, people will often ask 'Kiminləsən?' out of concern, not just curiosity. In Baku, the shortened 'Kimlə?' is almost universal in spoken language, while 'Kiminlə?' is reserved for TV news or formal speeches. In villages, 'Kiminlə?' often implies asking about which family or clan you are visiting. Speakers in Tabriz often use 'Kimnən?', which is a dialectal variation of 'Kiminlə'.
The Genitive Secret
Always remember that pronouns (Mən, Sən, O, Biz, Siz, Onlar, Kim) need their genitive form before adding '-lə'. It's not 'Mənlə', it's 'Mənimlə'.
Human Only!
If you ask 'Kiminlə gəldin?' to someone who drove a car, they will look behind them for a passenger. Use 'Nə ilə?' for the car!
