Signification
Doing schoolwork or learning.
Contexte culturel
The 'Repetitor' culture: Most high school students spend their evenings 'dərs oxumaq' with private tutors to prepare for university. Tea and Study: It is culturally common to have a glass of black tea while studying. A student 'dərs oxuyanda' will almost always have tea nearby. The transition from Arabic script to Latin/Cyrillic changed how 'oxumaq' was perceived, moving from religious recitation to secular study. Being a 'dərs oxuyan' (studious) person is a high social compliment in Azerbaijani villages and cities alike.
The 'Singing' Nuance
If someone says 'O, oxuyur', they usually mean 'He/she is singing'. Always include 'dərs' to be clear you mean studying.
Don't over-inflect
In general conversation, 'dərs oxumaq' stays as a unit. You don't need to say 'dərsləri oxumaq' unless referring to multiple specific subjects.
