Signification
Inquiring about something.
Contexte culturel
Asking about someone's family is a common way to 'sual vermək' to show friendliness. It is not considered nosy, but rather a sign of 'istiqanlılıq' (warm-bloodedness/friendliness). In traditional Azerbaijani schools, students stand up when they 'sual verirlər' to a teacher as a sign of respect, though this is changing in modern urban schools. Most 'sual-cavab' (Q&A) happens over tea. If someone invites you for tea to 'sual vermək', expect a long, detailed conversation, not a quick 5-minute chat. In Azerbaijani business culture, it is often expected that the most senior person asks the first questions. Subordinates 'sual verirlər' only after being invited to do so.
The 'Give' Rule
Always remember you are 'giving' the question. This helps you remember the verb 'vermək'.
Dative Case
Don't forget the -a/-ə suffix on the person you are asking. 'Mənə sual ver' (Ask me).
