Describing low temperature.
خلفية ثقافية
Weather talk is a sign of politeness. Complaining about the cold is a way to bond with strangers at bus stops or in queues. In the capital, 'Havo sovuq' is often a precursor to discussions about the 'heating season' (otopleniye) in apartment blocks. In villages, this phrase is a call to action to check on livestock and ensure there is enough coal or wood for the stove. If you say 'Havo sovuq' while visiting someone, they will immediately offer you 'issiq choy' (hot tea) and a 'ko'rpa' (heavy blanket).
The 'Is' Rule
Remember, you don't need 'is'. Just say the two words and you're done!
The 'Q' Sound
Don't pronounce 'sovuq' with a regular 'k'. It's a 'q' (uvular stop). Practice by making a clicking sound in your throat.
