意思
Describing high-quality local produce.
文化背景
Fruit is always served at the beginning and end of a meal. It is considered rude to start eating fruit before the eldest person has started. This region is considered the heart of 'shirin meva'. People from here are very proud of their pomegranates and apricots. Sellers will often give you a 'shirin meva' for free to taste. This is called 'og'iz tegish' (touching the mouth). When visiting a sick person, it is mandatory to bring 'shirin meva', especially apples or pomegranates, for health.
Compliment the seller
If you tell a bazaar seller 'Mevalaringiz juda shirin ekan', they might give you a discount or an extra piece of fruit.
Don't over-sweeten
If you say 'shirin-shirin meva', it sounds like you are talking to a child or being overly cute.

The 'Ekan' trick
Always add 'ekan' after 'shirin' when tasting something for the first time. It shows you just discovered how good it is.
Fruit as a meal
In summer, many Uzbeks eat 'shirin meva' (like melon) with bread (non) as a full lunch. Try it!
