文化的背景

Fruit is always served at the beginning and end of a meal. It is considered rude to start eating fruit before the eldest person has started. This region is considered the heart of 'shirin meva'. People from here are very proud of their pomegranates and apricots. Sellers will often give you a 'shirin meva' for free to taste. This is called 'og'iz tegish' (touching the mouth). When visiting a sick person, it is mandatory to bring 'shirin meva', especially apples or pomegranates, for health.

💡

Compliment the seller

If you tell a bazaar seller 'Mevalaringiz juda shirin ekan', they might give you a discount or an extra piece of fruit.

⚠️

Don't over-sweeten

If you say 'shirin-shirin meva', it sounds like you are talking to a child or being overly cute.
