İdman etmək

To do sports

معنی

Engaging in physical exercise.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Wrestling (Güləş) is the national sport. When people talk about 'idman etmək', they often have martial arts or wrestling in mind as the pinnacle of physical activity. The Baku Boulevard is the most popular place for public 'idman etmək'. It's common to see groups of all ages doing calisthenics there at 6 AM. The term 'Fizkulturanın' (Physical Culture) is still used by the older generation, but 'idman' has almost entirely replaced it among younger people. The English word 'Fitness' is now commonly used as a loanword, but usually as a noun for the place or the trend, while the action remains 'idman etmək'.

💡

The 'D' Rule

When you conjugate 'etmək' into 'edirəm' or 'edəcək', always change the 't' to 'd'. It sounds much more natural and is grammatically required.

⚠️

Avoid 'Oynamaq'

Never say 'idman oynamaq'. It's the most common beginner mistake. Stick to 'etmək'.

Use 'Məşq' for Gym

If you are specifically talking about going to the gym to lift weights, 'məşq etmək' sounds slightly more 'pro' than 'idman etmək'.

💬

Complimenting Fitness

If you see someone who clearly 'idman edir', you can say 'Gümrah görünürsünüz' (You look vigorous/fit).
