معنی
To make someone agree to something
زمینه فرهنگی
A person who keeps their word is called 'sözü bütöv' (whole-worded). Taking a word from such a person is considered as good as a bank guarantee. Very similar usage in Turkey. The concept of 'Söz namusdur' (One's word is one's honor) is shared across both cultures. In the broader Caucasus, verbal agreements in community councils (Aksakal meetings) are often finalized by 'taking the word' of the elders. Even in modern business, many deals are initiated with 'söz almaq' before the lawyers ever see a contract. It builds the necessary 'etimad' (trust).
The 'From' Rule
Always remember to use the -dan/-dən suffix on the person you are getting the promise from.
Don't use for 'Learning'
If you learned a new word in class, do NOT say 'Söz aldım'. Say 'Söz öyrəndim'.
