Invitations
"Come to My Wedding?" - Part 11
by
Jala Garibova and Betty Blair
Azerbaijanis are famous
for their hospitality and are very spontaneous about inviting
guests to their homes - even individuals they've met for the first time.
In this installment of "Sociolinguistically Speaking,"
we take a look at the patterns that Azerbaijanis follow in terms
of inviting guests to weddings, birthday parties and general
get-togethers. For more Azerbaijani customs and speech patterns
related to entertaining guests, see "Sociolinguistically
Speaking - 7", "Just a Cup of Tea", found at AZERI.org,
our Web site that is devoted to the Azeri language.
Actual article
has both English and Azeri scripts. That's why we've created
it in PDF. Download PDF
