معنی
Water at a low temperature.
زمینه فرهنگی
Drinking cold water while eating 'Palov' (Pilaf) is considered a major health mistake. The fat in the rice is believed to solidify in the stomach if hit by cold water. The concept of 'Mijoz' (temperament) dictates that people with a 'cold' nature should avoid 'sovuq suv' to prevent imbalance. In rural areas, guests are always offered hot tea first. Asking for cold water immediately might be seen as a sign that you are very overheated or in a hurry. Younger generations in Tashkent are more likely to drink 'muzdek suv' and iced coffee, moving away from the traditional 'no cold drinks' rule.
The Tea Rule
If an elder offers you tea, take it even if you want cold water. You can ask for water later.
Tap Water
In many parts of Uzbekistan, it is better to ask for 'shishadagi suv' (bottled water) rather than tap water.
