dolu
dolu 30秒で
- Dolu primarily means 'full' or 'crowded' in Azerbaijani, used for both objects and places.
- It can also describe a person's physical build as 'plump' or 'sturdy' in a neutral way.
- As a noun, 'dolu' means 'hail' in weather contexts, which is a common point of confusion.
- It is frequently used with the instrumental case (-la/-lə) to specify what something is full of.
The Azerbaijani word dolu is a versatile adjective primarily meaning 'full' or 'crowded.' At its most basic level, it describes a container that can hold no more, such as a glass of water or a bag of groceries. However, its utility extends far beyond physical objects. In Azerbaijani culture, a room 'dolu' with people suggests a vibrant, perhaps slightly overwhelming atmosphere. Unlike English, where 'full' and 'crowded' are distinct, dolu bridges that gap effortlessly.
- Physical Capacity
- Used for bottles, boxes, or any vessel. Stəkan doludur (The glass is full).
- Social Density
- Used for buses, restaurants, or events. Restoran dolu idi (The restaurant was crowded).
Mənim çantam kitablarla doludur.
In more abstract contexts, dolu describes a life rich with experience or a heart heavy with emotion. If someone says ürəyim doludur, they aren't talking about their physical heart being full of blood, but rather that they have many things on their mind or are feeling very emotional and need to vent. This multi-layered nature makes it one of the first adjectives a learner should master to describe the world around them.
Grammatically, dolu functions as a standard adjective in Azerbaijani. It can appear before a noun to modify it directly or after a noun with a copula suffix to form a predicate. Because Azerbaijani is an agglutinative language, you will often see dolu combined with suffixes like -dur/dür (is) or -idi (was).
- Attributive Position
- Placed before the noun: Dolu stəkan (A full glass).
- Predicative Position
- Placed after the noun with a suffix: Səbət doludur (The basket is full).
Avtobus sərnişinlərlə dolu idi.
When you want to specify what something is full of, you use the postposition ilə (with) or the instrumental case suffix -la/-lə. For example, 'full of water' becomes su ilə dolu. It is important to remember that 'dolu' itself does not change based on the gender of the noun, as Azerbaijani does not have grammatical gender.
In Azerbaijan, you will hear dolu daily in various environments. At a busy market (bazar), vendors might shout about their 'dolu' bags of fresh produce. In the Baku Metro during rush hour, you will inevitably hear someone complain that the train is həddindən artıq dolu (excessively full). It is a practical word for navigation and logistics.
Bu gün kafe çox doludur, başqa yerə gedək.
Beyond physical spaces, the word is a staple in weather reports. However, there is a catch: dolu as a noun means 'hail.' While we are focusing on the adjective, being aware of this homonym is crucial. If you hear Dolu yağır, it means 'It is hailing,' not 'The rain is full.'
One of the most frequent errors for English speakers is confusing dolu with tam or bütöv. While all three can translate to 'full' or 'complete' in certain English contexts, their usage in Azerbaijani is distinct. Dolu refers to capacity and occupancy. Tam refers to completeness or perfection (e.g., a full moon or a complete set). Bütöv refers to something being whole or undivided (e.g., a whole loaf of bread).
- Dolu vs. Tam
- Use 'dolu' for a cup of tea, but 'tam' for a complete answer.
If you want to vary your vocabulary, there are several synonyms depending on the context. If a place is not just 'full' but 'packed' or 'cramped,' you might use basabas (crush/crowd). If you are talking about something being 'saturated' or 'overflowing,' the verb daşmaq might be more appropriate in its participial form.
- Məşğul
- Means 'busy.' Use this for people, whereas 'dolu' is for places. A person is busy, but a room is full.
- Basırıq
- Specifically refers to a 'crowded' or 'congested' situation, often used for traffic or public transport.
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The root is so ancient that it is found in almost all Turkic languages with very little phonetic change (e.g., Turkish 'dolu', Kazakh 'tolı').
発音ガイド
- Pronouncing 'u' like the English 'u' in 'cup'. It should be more like 'oo' in 'boot'.
- Stress on the first syllable.
- Making the 'o' too long like 'doe'.
- Confusing it with the English word 'doll'.
- Not rounding the lips enough for the 'u'.
難易度
Very easy to recognize in text.
Easy, but remember the 'u' at the end.
Requires correct stress on the second syllable.
Must distinguish from 'yolu' or 'qolu' in fast speech.
