뜻
Giving one's word.
문화적 배경
The phrase 'Kişi sözü' (A man's word) is a cultural staple. It implies that the promise is unbreakable and tied to the speaker's entire identity and honor. Very similar to Azerbaijan, 'Söz vermek' is the primary way to promise. Breaking a 'söz' is seen as a significant character flaw in both cultures. Azerbaijani speakers in Iran use 'Söz vermək' but may also frequently use the Persian-influenced 'Qövl vermək' in similar contexts. Across the Caucasus, verbal promises are often held in higher regard than written ones in traditional village settings.
Use the Dative
Always remember to put the person you are promising to in the -a/-ə case. 'Mən sənə...'
Don't Overuse
In Azerbaijan, promising is serious. Don't say 'söz verirəm' for things you aren't 100% sure about.
