Contexte culturel
The 'Final Tea' rule: You never say 'Getdik' while there is still tea in your glass. It is polite to finish the tea first. In Baku, 'Getdik' is often accompanied by a specific hand gesture—a slight wave or a tap on the shoulder of a friend. A host might respond to 'Getdik' with 'Hara belə tez?' (Where to so fast?), even if you've been there for five hours. In some southern regions, the intonation might be more drawn out, sounding like 'Geeetdik'.
The Intonation Trick
Say it with a falling intonation for a command, and a rising intonation for a question ('Ready to go?').
Don't use alone
Remember, 'Getdik' is for 2+ people. If you're alone, use 'Mən getdim'.

The 'Hə' Prefix
Adding 'Hə' (Yes) before 'Getdik' makes it sound much more natural and enthusiastic.
