뜻
Used to greet someone arriving at a place.
문화적 배경
When saying 'Xush kelibsiz', it is customary to place your right hand over your heart. This shows the welcome comes from the soul. A 'Xush kelibsiz' is almost always followed by an offer of tea. The tea is poured into a small bowl (piala) and offered with the right hand. The phrase reflects the multi-ethnic history of the region, combining Persian and Turkic elements, which was the lingua franca of trade. In modern Tashkent, 'Xush kelibsiz' is used in high-end hotels and malls to blend traditional values with international service standards.
