A1 Expression 正式

Sakit olun

Be quiet / Calm down

意思

Asking for silence or peace.

🌍

文化背景

In traditional Azerbaijani tea houses (Çayxana), while they are places of talk, there is a level of 'sakitlik' expected when a serious topic is raised. Interrupting is very rude. While Turkish and Azerbaijani are similar, Turks more often use 'Sessiz olun'. Using 'Sakit olun' in Turkey might sound like you are specifically asking them to 'calm down' emotionally rather than just be quiet. In Azerbaijan, the influence of the Russian 'Tixo' (Quiet) is seen in the adverb 'Sakitcə', but 'Sakit olun' remains the standard formal Turkic construction. Azerbaijani schools are traditionally quite formal. A teacher saying 'Sakit olun' is a serious command that expects immediate compliance.

Add 'Zəhmət olmasa'

Always add 'zəhmət olmasa' (please) if you are not in a position of authority. It turns a command into a polite request.

⚠️

Avoid 'Sus'

Never use 'Sus' with people you don't know well. It is very blunt and can cause offense.
