뜻
Offering something to someone.
문화적 배경
Hospitality is sacred. Refusing an offer of tea or bread is often seen as a slight, so hosts will ask 'Istaysizmi?' repeatedly. The person pouring the tea will always ask others if they want more before refilling their own cup. Bread is never placed upside down. When offering bread with 'Istaysizmi?', it is usually broken into pieces by the host first. Younger people must always use the 'siz' form ('Istaysizmi?') when addressing anyone older, even by a few years.
The Right Hand Rule
Always gesture toward the item you are offering with your right hand while asking 'Istaysizmi?' to show maximum respect.
Don't be too direct
If someone says 'No' the first time, don't just stop. Ask again after a minute. It's the Uzbek way!

The 'Siz' Factor
When in doubt, always use 'Istaysizmi?' instead of 'Istaysanmi?'. You can never be too polite in Uzbekistan.
