معنی
Asking someone to say something again
زمینه فرهنگی
In Azerbaijan, it is common to use 'Zəhmət olmasa' (Please) before or after 'Təkrar edin' to avoid sounding too demanding. Students always use the '-in' form with teachers as a sign of 'hörmət' (respect). When a guest doesn't understand a host, the host will often repeat themselves multiple times without being asked, but 'Təkrar edin' is the polite way for the guest to prompt this. In Baku's business world, clarity is valued, and asking for repetition is seen as a sign of diligence rather than a lack of language skill.
The 'Siz' Rule
When in doubt, always use 'Təkrar edin' instead of 'Təkrar et'. It is never rude to be too formal in Azerbaijan.
Body Language
A slight tilt of the head or cupping your hand behind your ear while saying 'Təkrar edin' helps convey that you are trying to listen.
