Stating the day of the week
Contexto cultural
Sunday is the traditional day for 'Qonaqlıq' (hosting guests). If you say this phrase, expect an invitation to tea or dinner. In Baku, Sundays mean the 'Bulvar' (Seaside Boulevard) is packed with families. The phrase is often a precursor to a walk by the Caspian Sea. In regions, Sunday is literally 'Market Day'. People travel from villages to the nearest town bazar to sell produce. Unlike some Western countries where Sunday is very quiet, in Azerbaijan, most malls and restaurants are at their busiest on Sundays.
Vowel Harmony is Key
Always match the '-dür' to the 'ü' in 'günü'. It's the secret to sounding native.
Don't forget the '-dür'
In Azerbaijani, sentences need a 'verb' or a 'copula'. Without '-dür', it's just a list of words.
