Hi,

I am Jamila Musayeva, an international social etiquette consultant and the author of two books "Etiquette: the least you need to know" and "Afternoon Tea Etiquette." My books are available in English language in print only. If you wish to order, please email info@jamilamusayeva.com



In this video, I am sharing with you a very special holiday table set-up that we do for Novruz in Azerbaijan. I also wanted to tell you about traditions and superstitions around Novruz. Make sure to stay tuned until the very end of this video because some of the most interesting traditions I have saved for the last.


Note: I used the word spicy twice. In the first instance, I meant spicy as “made with various kinds of spices.” In the second one, I meant spicy as “hot.”
Also, the correct order of Tuesdays is Water, Fire, Wind and Earth.


I hope you enjoy this video. Let me know in the comments below if you would like to see more of this kind of content - related to Azerbaijani culture and traditions.

Novruz Vocabulary:
