Significado
Asking about people present in a house.
Contexto cultural
Hospitality is paramount. Shouting 'Uyda kim bor?' is a way to respect the family's privacy before entering the 'ichkari' (inner) part of the house. In close-knit neighborhoods, doors are often left unlocked. This phrase acts as a verbal 'knock' to announce one's presence. In villages, the 'hovli' (courtyard) is the main living space. You might hear 'Hovlida kim bor?' more often than 'Uyda'. In Tashkent apartments, the phrase is now used over intercoms or via Telegram messages ('Uydamisan?' - Are you at home?).
Add a Greeting

Don't Just Walk In
Even if the door is open, always wait for a response after asking this phrase.
