Informal agreement or confirmation.
Contexte culturel
The 'Double Oldu': Repeating the word ('Oldu, oldu') often signals that you are in a hurry or that the matter is completely settled and no further talk is needed. The 'Oldu' with a kiss: On the phone, friends often say 'Oldu, öpdüm' (Okay, I kissed [you]), which is a very common warm way to hang up. Hospitality: When a host offers more food, saying 'Oldu' is a polite way to accept, whereas 'Yox' might be seen as too blunt unless followed by an explanation. Bargaining: In markets, 'Oldu' is the final word that ends a negotiation. Once 'Oldu' is said, the price is fixed and the deal is sacred.
The Nod
Always pair 'Oldu' with a slight downward nod to look like a native speaker.
Don't over-formalize
Saying 'Bəli' to a close friend instead of 'Oldu' can make you sound cold or distant.
