Signification
Asking for more speed.
Contexte culturel
In the bazaar, 'Tezroq' is used by porters (makkor) pushing heavy carts. They shout 'Qoching, tezroq!' (Move, faster!) to clear the path. Never use 'Tezroq' when someone is pouring tea. Tea is a ritual of respect and must be done slowly. Hurrying the tea pourer is seen as a sign of poor character. In 'Marshrutkas' (minibuses), passengers often shout 'Tezroq!' to the driver if he waits too long at a stop to collect more passengers. During the 'Nahorgi Osh' (Morning Pilaf), which starts at 6 AM, the service is incredibly fast. You don't even need to say 'Tezroq'—the servers will have you fed and out in 15 minutes.
The 'Iltimos' Rule
Always add 'Iltimos' (Please) after 'Tezroq' if you are speaking to someone you don't know well. It turns a command into a request.
Elder Respect
Never say 'Tezroq' to your grandparents. It is better to wait patiently than to be seen as 'beadab' (rude).
