Signification
A phrase used to describe appearance.
Contexte culturel
Complimenting a girl's beauty is often accompanied by 'Maşallah' to prevent the 'evil eye' (nəzər). It is a sign of good intentions. In many Caucasian cultures, 'girl' (qız/devushka) is used as a polite address for any young woman until she is married. In the capital, 'Gözəl qız' is a common comment on social media, but in person, young people often prefer 'Qəşəng' as it feels less formal. Classical poets like Nizami Ganjavi often used 'gözəl' to describe characters like Shirin or Leyli, linking physical beauty to divine light.
