뜻
To interfere in others' business.
문화적 배경
In the Mahalla, privacy is a shared concept. While 'burnini suqmoq' is used to stop meddling, there is a cultural expectation that neighbors *should* know enough to help in times of need. Elders often 'stick their noses' into the lives of younger relatives as a form of guidance. In this context, a younger person using the idiom back at them would be seen as extremely 'beadab' (rude). Asking many personal questions is sometimes a sign of being a 'good host' or 'caring friend'. The line between hospitality and 'burnini suqmoq' is very thin. In cities like Tashkent, Western concepts of privacy are becoming more popular, making 'burnini suqmoq' a more common and accepted way to set boundaries among the youth.

The 'Tiqmoq' variant
If you are really angry, use 'tiqmoq' instead of 'suqmoq'. It sounds much more forceful.
