All 10 Azerbaijani phrases in this lesson

İndieen-DEE
Now

Signals urgency or immediacy. "İndi hazırdır?" means "is it ready now?" Good for checking on an order.

Sonrason-RA
Later

A flexible word covering "later," "afterward," and "then." Azerbaijanis use it loosely, so clarify if timing matters.

Bu günboo GOON
Today

The most useful time word. "Bu gün açıqdır?" means "is it open today?" A reliable phrase for checking hours.

Sabahsa-BAH
Tomorrow

Also means "morning," so context determines the meaning. "Sabah gələcəyəm" means "I will come tomorrow."

One moment, please

Literally "one minute, please".

Dəqiqədeh-gee-GEH
Minutes

Stays singular after a number: "beş dəqiqə", five minutes.
