معنی
To watch or monitor something
زمینه فرهنگی
In Azerbaijani courtyards (həyət), the 'Ağsaqqal' (elder) often 'göz qoyur' on the whole neighborhood's morality and safety. Informal parking attendants (often called 'parking guys') will say 'Gözüm üstündədir' (My eye is on it) after you ask them to 'göz qoymaq' on your car. In Turkey, 'göz kulak olmak' is more common than 'göz koymak', which in Turkish can sometimes mean 'to covet' or 'to want to steal'. In Azerbaijan, 'göz qoymaq' is primarily protective. Shepherds 'göz qoyur' on their sheep to protect them from wolves, emphasizing the protective nature of the idiom.
