معنی
The sky on a clear day.
زمینه فرهنگی
The blue in 'Göy səma' is the same 'Göy' found on the national flag, symbolizing Turkic identity and the vastness of the Eurasian steppes. Ancient Turks worshipped the 'Gök Tanrı' (Sky God). The blue sky was seen as the physical manifestation of the divine. Baku is known as the 'City of Winds'. When the wind clears the dust, the 'göy səma' over the Caspian Sea is considered one of the city's most beautiful sights. Azerbaijani poets often use 'göy səma' as a metaphor for a heart free of sorrow.
The 'Göy' Rule
Remember that 'Göy' is both the word for 'blue' and an old word for 'sky'. So 'Göy səma' is like saying 'Sky-colored sky'.
Not for clothes!
If you want to say your shirt is blue, just say 'Göy köynək'. Adding 'səma' makes it sound like your shirt is made of the atmosphere.
