<strong>Introduction: Greetings and Introductions in North Azerbaijani</strong>
== Introduction ==
<p>Hello and welcome to the North Azerbaijani Vocabulary course. In this lesson, we will be focusing on basic greetings in North Azerbaijani. This is the first step in learning how to communicate with people in North Azerbaijani. Greetings are important as they are the first words uttered by individuals when they meet. Hence, it is essential to know how to say "hello", "goodbye", and other common greetings in North Azerbaijani. By the end of this lesson, you will have learned how to say the basic greetings and can use them in everyday conversations. Let's get started!</p>
 
In this lesson, we will focus on learning basic greetings in North Azerbaijani. Greetings are an essential part of any language, as they allow us to establish connections and show politeness when meeting new people. By mastering these basic greetings, you will be able to confidently greet others and make a positive impression in North Azerbaijani-speaking communities. This lesson is designed for complete beginners and is part of the larger course titled "Complete 0 to A1 North Azerbaijani Course." Let's dive into the fascinating world of North Azerbaijani greetings!
 
== Saying Hello ==
 
When meeting someone for the first time or greeting someone in a formal setting, it is customary to use a polite greeting. In North Azerbaijani, the most common way to say hello is "Salam" (سلام). This greeting is widely used and understood throughout North Azerbaijani-speaking regions. Let's take a look at some examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| Salam || sah-LAHM || Hello
|-
| Salam, necəsiz? || sah-LAHM, NEH-jeh-SEHZ || Hello, how are you?
|-
| Salam, sağ olun || sah-LAHM, sah-OH-loon || Hello, thank you (polite)
|}
 
It's important to note that "Salam" can be used in both formal and informal situations. However, if you want to be more formal or show respect, you can use "Salam, necəsiz?" when greeting someone. This additional phrase means "Hello, how are you?" and demonstrates a genuine interest in the other person's well-being. The response to this greeting will usually be "Əla, sağ olun" (Good, thank you) or "Əla, rəhmətliyəm" (I'm fine, thank you).
 
== Saying Goodbye ==
 
Just as greeting someone is important, bidding farewell is equally significant. In North Azerbaijani, the most common way to say goodbye is "Sağ olun" (ساغ اولون). This phrase is used in various contexts and can be translated as "Goodbye," "Thank you," or "Be well." Here are some examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| Sağ olun || sah-OH-loon || Goodbye / Thank you / Be well
|-
| Sağ olun, görüşənədək || sah-OH-loon, goh-roo-SHEH-neh-dehk || Goodbye, until we meet again
|-
| Sağ olun, xoş gəlmişsiniz || sah-OH-loon, khosh gehl-MI-shih-nihz || Thank you for coming (polite)
|}
 
"Sağ olun" is a versatile phrase that can be used in different situations. It can be used when parting ways with someone, expressing gratitude, or even welcoming someone. The phrase "Sağ olun, görüşənədək" is a more formal way of saying goodbye, implying that you hope to see the person again in the future. Similarly, "Sağ olun, xoş gəlmişsiniz" can be used to thank someone for their visit or arrival. It's a polite way to acknowledge their presence and make them feel welcome.
 
== Other Common Greetings ==
 
Apart from the basic greetings we have discussed, there are several other common greetings in North Azerbaijani that can be useful in various situations. Let's explore some of them:
 
=== Merhaba ===
 
"Merhaba" (مرحبا) is another widely used greeting in North Azerbaijani. It is borrowed from the Arabic language and has a similar meaning to "hello" or "hi" in English. While "Merhaba" is not as commonly used as "Salam," it is still understood by most North Azerbaijani speakers. Here is an example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| Merhaba || mehr-HAH-bah || Hello / Hi
|}
 
=== Salamünaleyküm ===
 
"Salamünaleyküm" (سلام علیکم) is a traditional Muslim greeting that means "Peace be upon you." It is predominantly used among religious individuals or in religious contexts. When someone greets you with "Salamünaleyküm," the customary response is "Aleykümsalam" (علیکم سلام), which means "And upon you be peace." Here is an example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| Salamünaleyküm || sah-LAHM-oon-ah-ley-KOOM || Peace be upon you
|-
| Aleykümsalam || ah-LEY-koom-sah-LAHM || And upon you be peace
|}
 
=== Nə var, nə yox? ===
 
"Nə var, nə yox?" (نه وار, نه یوخ) is a casual way of asking "What's up?" or "What's happening?" in North Azerbaijani. This phrase is commonly used among friends or in informal settings. Here is an example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| Nə var, nə yox? || neh vahr, neh yoh || What's up? / What's happening?
|}
 
== Cultural Insights ==
 
Greetings play an essential role in North Azerbaijani culture, reflecting the values of respect, hospitality, and warmth. When greeting someone, it is customary to maintain eye contact, smile, and offer a firm handshake. However, in more traditional settings or among older generations, a light kiss on both cheeks may be exchanged between individuals of the same gender. It is important to adapt to the cultural norms and practices of the specific region or community you are interacting with.
 
In rural areas, it is common for people to greet each other by using phrases like "Salam, necəsən?" (Hello, how are you?) or "Sağ ol, necəsən?" (Goodbye, how are you?). These phrases reflect a deeper sense of community and genuine interest in the well-being of others. Additionally, it is considered polite to inquire about the health and family members of the person you are greeting, especially if they are an acquaintance or someone you haven't seen in a while.
 
North Azerbaijani culture places great importance on interpersonal relationships, and greetings are seen as a way to establish and nurture those connections. Taking the time to greet someone properly, ask about their well-being, and show genuine interest in their life can go a long way in building strong relationships within the North Azerbaijani-speaking community.

<p> In North Azerbaijani culture, greetings are given great importance. It is considered rude not to say hello or acknowledge someone's presence. When greeting elders, it is customary to include a slight bow to show respect. It is also important to note that in Azerbaijani culture, a person's first name is rarely used in conversation. Instead, titles like "Auntie", "Uncle", "Brother," or "Sister" are used as a sign of respect. Greetings usually involve some small talk such as asking about the other person's health, family, and business. It is considered impolite to get straight to business without exchanging pleasantries first.</p>
