意思
Literally putting an object down.
文化背景
The 'Ağsaqqal' (White Beard) system means that the word of an elder is nearly absolute. Putting their word down is considered a major social sin. If a guest makes a request, the host feels a 'minnət' (obligation). To 'put the guest's word down' would bring shame to the house. Modern youth use 'Məni yerə qoyma' when asking for favors in dating or social media contexts, often with a more casual tone. In Azerbaijani business, relationships (tanışlıq) often matter more than contracts. 'Putting a partner's word down' can end a business relationship permanently.
Use it for favors
If you want someone to definitely do you a favor, add 'Sözümü yerə qoyma' at the end of your request. It adds emotional weight.
Don't over use
If you use it for every small thing, it loses its power. Save it for things that actually matter to you.

Remember that 'Baş üstə' (On my head) is the positive answer to 'Sözümü yerə qoyma'.
