Significado
Operating a motor vehicle.
Contexto cultural
The 'White Gentra' is a cultural phenomenon. It is the most popular car and driving one is seen as a sign of having 'made it' in life. Traffic in the capital is dense. Driving here requires constant use of the horn to signal presence, not necessarily aggression. In villages, 'haydash' is still used daily for herding animals, so the dual meaning is very apparent. When driving, it is common to pick up people waiting on the side of the road for a small fee. This is called 'taksi qilish' (doing taxi).
The 'Prava' shortcut
In informal Uzbek, people often just ask 'Prava bormi?' (Do you have a license?) instead of the full 'Mashina haydashni bilasizmi?'
Don't 'herd' your bike
Remember: 'Velosiped haydash' sounds very funny to natives. Stick to 'minish'.
