معنی
A well of great depth
زمینه فرهنگی
In villages, wells are often communal. Describing one as 'dərin' is a practical safety notice for the community. The 'well' is a symbol of the subconscious and the past. Many poets use it to describe the depth of their sorrow or love. The story of Prophet Yusif (Joseph) being thrown into a well is widely known and colors the perception of 'quyu' as a place of betrayal. In the city, 'dərin quyu' is often used for 'rabbit holes' on the internet or complex bureaucratic processes.
Use for Mystery
If you want to sound poetic, use this to describe someone's eyes or a dark night.
Safety First
In Azerbaijan, if someone says 'dərin quyu' while you are walking, STOP immediately. It's likely a literal warning.
