Signification
Talking about a hobby
Contexte culturel
Azerbaijanis have a deep respect for 'Kitab'. It is common to see large personal libraries in homes, and giving a book as a gift is considered very prestigious. In Baku, 'Book Cafes' are the new trend. Young people meet there to read and discuss literature over tea. The term 'Ziyalı' refers to an educated person who reads. Saying you love reading is a way to signal you belong to this social class. Even in ancient folklore like 'Dede Korkut', the 'written word' was seen as sacred and powerful.
The 'ğ' Rule
Always remember that 'q' changes to 'ğ' when you add the '-ı' suffix. It makes the word sound smoother.
Don't say 'Kitab sevirəm'
Saying 'I love book' sounds incomplete. Always include the action 'oxumağı' (reading).

5 questionsYes, but that means 'I love books' (the objects). 'Kitab oxumağı sevirəm' is better for the hobby of reading.
No, 'sevirəm' is perfectly fine for hobbies, food, and friends, not just romantic love.
'Oxumaq' is general (reading anything), while 'mütaliə' is specifically for reading books/literature for knowledge.
It is the accusative case marker, required because 'oxumaq' is the direct object of 'sevirəm'.
You say 'Kitab oxumağı sevmirəm'.
