意味
A large urban area.
文化的背景
In Azerbaijan, 'şəhər' (the city) almost always refers to Baku. If someone says 'Şəhərə gedirəm' (I'm going to the city), they usually mean they are going to the center of Baku or to Baku from a region. The phrase is identical in Turkish ('Büyük şehir'). In Turkey, 'Büyükşehir Belediyesi' is a specific legal status for metropolitan municipalities like Istanbul or Ankara. In countries like Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan, 'böyük şəhər' (or its local variants) often refers to Soviet-planned urban centers which contrast sharply with traditional mahallas. The 'böyük şəhər' is often portrayed in global literature as a place of both opportunity and alienation, a theme common in Azerbaijani poetry as well.
Adjective Order
Always put 'böyük' before 'şəhər'. Azerbaijani follows the Adjective + Noun order just like English.
The letter 'ə'
Don't pronounce 'şəhər' as 'shahar'. The 'ə' sound is very specific to Azerbaijani; it's an open 'e' sound.

Using 'Bir'
If you are saying 'a big city' (indefinite), use 'böyük bir şəhər'. It sounds more natural than just 'böyük şəhər'.
Baku is 'The' City
If you are in Azerbaijan and say 'şəhər', everyone assumes you mean Baku. You don't always need to say 'Bakı'.
