Feeling fear.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Çildağ' ritual is a traditional way to treat someone who has suffered a severe fright. It involves a healer touching specific points on the body with a glowing ember. Fear of the 'Evil Eye' (Nazar) is widespread. People often avoid boasting to prevent 'qorxulu' (dangerous) envy from others. In the 'Book of Dede Korkut', fear is often contrasted with 'Alp' (heroism). A hero is someone who masters their 'qorxu'. In Baku, 'qorxmaq' is often used jokingly among friends when someone is hesitant to try spicy food or a fast car.
The 'From' Rule
Always remember: in Azerbaijani, you fear 'from' something. Attach -dan or -dən to the thing you fear.
Polite 'I'm Afraid'
Never use 'qorxuram' to say 'I'm afraid I can't come.' Use 'Təəssüf ki' instead.
