Sualım var

I have a question

Indicating a desire to ask something

🌍

문화적 배경

In Azerbaijani schools, students usually stand up when asking a question to show respect to the teacher. In meetings, it's common to wait for the speaker to finish before saying 'Bir sualım var.' Interrupting mid-sentence is generally frowned upon. On Azerbaijani Instagram/TikTok, 'Sualım var' is a common sticker used in stories to invite followers to ask questions. If a guest says 'Sualım var,' the host will often stop everything to answer, as helping a guest is a top priority.

💡

Add 'Bir'

Always add 'bir' (one) to sound more natural: 'Bir sualım var.'

⚠️

Don't forget the suffix

Saying just 'Sual var' means 'There is a question' (general), not 'I have a question.'

It is neutral. You can use it with your boss or your best friend. The context and your tone of voice make it formal or informal.

No, that's incorrect. You should say 'Mənim sualım var' or just 'Sualım var.'

'Sual' is the standard word in Azerbaijani. 'Soru' is used in Turkish (from Turkey). While Azerbaijanis understand 'soru,' they rarely use it.

You say 'Sualın var?' (informal) or 'Sualınız var?' (formal).

The '-m' is a possessive suffix that means 'my'. Without it, the word is just 'question'.

Yes, it's very common to start an email with 'Sizə bir sualım var.'

Yes, but it's best to raise your hand while saying it.

You say 'Sual-larım var.' (Note the plural suffix -lar).

No, 'var' means 'there is'. Azerbaijani uses 'there is' to show possession.

Say '[Name] bəy/xanım, sizə bir sualım var.'
