Essential Phrases You’ll Need in Azerbaijan

Most people in Azerbaijan can’t speak English, which means you’ll need to know a phrase or two if you want to get away from the touristy areas. Russian is the second language and speaking a few words will go a long way when travelling in the Caucasus and Eastern Europe.

Basic greetings from saying hello to expressing gratitude are essential phrases in any language. Here are the most important ones in Azerbaijani.

Salam (Sah-lahm) / Hello

Every Azerbaijani will use Salam as a greeting from meeting friends to getting a ticket at the bus station.

He / Yox (Ha/Yok) – Yes / No

Informal ways to say yes and no. Or use the Russian Da or Nyet.

Sag ol (Sa-ol) / Thank You

No explanation needed here.

Buyur (Bu-yur) / You’re welcome

An informal way to say you’re welcome. You’ll hear this a lot after saying Sag ol.

Helekik (He-le-lich) / Goodbye

It’s always polite to say goodbye.

Directions

Tualet haradad0r (Tua-let ha-rad-da-dor) / Where’s the toilet?

What can be worse than not knowing tualet haradador when you need to use it really badly?

Duz gedin (duz ge-din) / Go Straight

You may hear this as you’re asking for directions or guiding the taxi driver back to your hotel.

Sola don (so-la don) / Saga don (Sa-ha don) – Turn left / Turn right

When combined with gestures, these are the most common phrases you’ll hear when asking for or giving directions.

Avtobus va qatar (Auto-Buss va Ga-tar) / Bus and Train

At the restaurant/bar

Dadlidir (Dod-lu-dur) / It’s delicious

Food in Azerbaijan mixes Caucasus, Persian, Turkish, and Russian flavours. The local cuisine is delicious and telling your friends, host or waiter their food tastes dadlidir will make their day.

Pivo (Pee-Vo) / Beer

The most important word you can learn for the bar!

At the market

Bu neceyedir? (Bu Neh-Cha-Ya-Dir) / How much is this?

Always ask the price of something before buying. If you’re not confident with numbers, bring a pen and paper. Ask the vendor to write the price.

Numbers

Knowing the basic numbers up to 10 will be useful in lots of situations from asking the price to trying to find out what time the bus leaves.

Sifir (See-fir) / 0

Bir (Bi-er) / 1

Iki (i-chi) / 2

Uc (U-ch) / 3

Dord (Dir-d) / 4

Bes (Besh) / 5

Alti (Al-t) / 6

Yeddi (Yeh-de) / 7

Sekkiz (Sah-kiz) / 8

Doqquz (Doh-Kuz) / 9

On (on) / 10

Larger numbers

For 11 to 20, simply say 10 plus the number. For example, 17 is On yeddi. The same works for multiples of 10. Simply say the multiple followed by the single digit.

Making friends

Senin adin nedir? (Se-nin a-dun ne-dir) / What’s your name?

Azerbaijanis are some of the friendliest and most hospitable people in the world. And being a tourist in Baku, you’re likely to get curious looks. Meeting new people and making friends with a local is easy. Knowing how to ask their name should be a priority.

Remember to substitute my name, Sam, for yourself and add the dur at the end.

Cox Sadam (Chuk sha-dam) / Nice to meet you.

This one is self-explanatory.

Necesen? Yaxsiyam (Na-tar-san / Yok-She arm) – How are you? / I’m Fine

Local people tend to be polite and well-mannered. You’ll almost always be asked how you’re doing if you know the person.

For everything else

Ingilisce / Rusca (In-gil–lis-ca/ Rus-ca) – English / Russian

Ingilisce danisa bilirsiniz? (In-gil-lis-ca dan-sha bil-ish-in-iz) / Do you speak English?
