Signification
Directing someone to a place.
Contexte culturel
When giving directions, people often use their whole hand to point rather than just one finger, as it is considered more polite. In the windy city of Baku, directions are often given relative to the wind (Xazri or Gilavar), but 'oraya get' remains the standard for immediate visual targets. In villages, 'oraya get' might be followed by a description of a landmark like a specific tree or a neighbor's house. A host will rarely tell a guest 'Oraya get' without accompanying them, as it might seem like they are dismissing the guest.
Use your eyes
Native speakers often look at the destination while saying 'Oraya get' to reinforce the direction.
The 'T' sound
Make sure the 't' in 'get' is crisp and not voiced into a 'd' unless you are saying 'gedin'.
