意味
Hands that have been washed.
文化的背景
The 'aftafa' and 'ləyən' (pitcher and basin) are traditional items used for washing hands of guests, symbolizing high hospitality. Wudu (ritual purification) requires washing hands three times, making 'təmiz əllər' a spiritual prerequisite for prayer. The phrase is often used in media to describe the 'ideal' civil servant who resists the legacy of systemic bribery. Since many traditional Azerbaijani foods (like bread or some meats) are eaten with hands, cleanliness is a social contract.
Use it for praise
If you want to compliment a colleague's integrity, saying 'Onun əlləri təmizdir' is very powerful.
Plurality matters
Always use the plural 'əllər' for the figurative meaning. 'Təmiz əl' sounds like you are literally looking at one hand.

The Bread Rule
In Azerbaijan, never touch bread with 'dirty hands'; it is considered a sin (günah) against the food's sanctity.
