معنی

A fast reply

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Azerbaijan, replying quickly to a WhatsApp message is a sign of closeness. If you take hours to reply to a close friend, they might ask 'Niyə gec cavab verirsən?' (Why are you replying late?). While similar, Turks often use 'Hızlı cevap'. Using 'Tez' in Turkey sounds a bit old-fashioned or regional, but in Azerbaijan, it is the standard modern term. In the Baku business scene, 'Tez cavab' is often replaced by 'Operativ cavab' in official documents to sound more professional and modern. With many tech startups in Baku, 'tez cavab' is part of the 'Agile' workflow terminology used by young professionals.
