Occasionally.
文化背景
In Azerbaijani culture, 'bəzən' is often used to avoid giving a direct 'no' or to appear more modest about one's habits. The concept of time in the Caucasus can be more fluid than in Western Europe. 'Bəzən' reflects this flexibility. In the fast-paced life of Baku, 'bəzən' is frequently used to complain about the unpredictable traffic or wind (the city of winds). In villages, 'bəzən' is tied to the seasons and agricultural cycles.
Start your sentence
If you're unsure where to put 'bəzən', just put it at the very beginning. It's always correct and sounds very natural.
Don't mix with 'Bəzi'
Remember: Bəzən = Sometimes (Adverb), Bəzi = Some (Adjective).

Double for emphasis
In songs or poetry, you might hear 'bəzən-bəzən'. This just means 'very occasionally'.
Softening the blow
Use 'bəzən' to make a complaint sound less harsh. 'Sən bəzən unudursan' (You sometimes forget) sounds much nicer than 'Sən həmişə unudursan' (You always forget).
