The concept of 'Vazminlik' (composure/calmness) is highly valued. Moving or speaking 'sekinroq' is often associated with being a 'bosiq' (level-headed) person. In the capital, 'sekinroq' is frequently used with Yandex Go drivers. It's a standard part of the 'urban survival' vocabulary for foreigners. In this region, speech can be very fast and melodic. You might need to use 'sekinroq' more often here than in other parts of the country. Pouring tea ('choy uzatish') should be done 'sekin' and gracefully.
