Meaning
Inviting someone inside
Cultural Background
When saying this, the host almost always gestures with an open palm toward the room. It is considered rude to say it while looking away or being busy with something else. Hospitality is competitive. If you are invited with 'Buyurun, daxil olun', you might be expected to stay for hours, even if you only intended to drop something off. In modern apartments, 'daxil olun' is the signal to start the shoe-removal process. Most hosts will have guest slippers (başmaq) ready. In a business setting, the person with the highest rank says this phrase. It is a sign of authority and hospitality combined.
The Hand Gesture
Always use a hand gesture. Pointing with one finger is rude; use an open palm.
Don't Overuse 'Daxil Olun'
In a very small room, just 'Buyurun' or 'Keçin' is more natural than the long 'daxil olun'.
