Signification
Asking someone to say something again.
Contexte culturel
Uzbeks value 'Andisha' (thoughtfulness/modesty). Asking someone to repeat is fine, but doing it with a smile and a slight nod is better. In the capital, speech is faster. You will often hear the contraction 'Qaytarvoring'. It's not 'slang' per se, but very casual urban speech. People here are known for being exceptionally polite. They might add 'iltimos' (please) both before and after the phrase. Due to the Tajik influence, you might hear 'Yana bir bor ayting' more frequently, but 'Qaytarib yuboring' remains universally understood.
The Head Tilt
When saying this, a slight tilt of the head to the side shows you are trying hard to listen, making the request even more polite.
Don't just say 'Nima?'
Saying 'Nima?' (What?) can sound aggressive or rude to older Uzbeks. Always prefer 'Qaytarib yuboring'.
