Homonym: pazar (Market)
A "pazar" is a traditional market commonly found in many countries, particularly in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. It serves as a vibrant space where local vendors sell fresh produce, spices, textiles, and handmade goods. Shoppers can find a variety of items, often at lower prices than in supermarkets, while enjoying the lively atmosphere.
In a pazar, social interactions are common, as people engage in bargaining and chatting with vendors. These markets not only provide essential goods but also foster community connections. They are often held weekly or on specific days, making them a staple of local culture and economy.
