मतलब
To make someone agree to something
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
A person who keeps their word is called 'sözü bütöv' (whole-worded). Taking a word from such a person is considered as good as a bank guarantee. Very similar usage in Turkey. The concept of 'Söz namusdur' (One's word is one's honor) is shared across both cultures. In the broader Caucasus, verbal agreements in community councils (Aksakal meetings) are often finalized by 'taking the word' of the elders. Even in modern business, many deals are initiated with 'söz almaq' before the lawyers ever see a contract. It builds the necessary 'etimad' (trust).
The 'From' Rule
Always remember to use the -dan/-dən suffix on the person you are getting the promise from.
Don't use for 'Learning'
If you learned a new word in class, do NOT say 'Söz aldım'. Say 'Söz öyrəndim'.

Formal Meetings
In a meeting, if you want to speak, say 'Söz almaq olar?' (May I have the floor?). It's very polite.
Honor Matters
When you say 'Səndən söz alıram', you are invoking the other person's honor. Use it when you really need them to follow through.
