Bedeutung
To stop doing something or retreat.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In the past, turning back from a journey was often seen as an omen or a sign of poor resolve. However, listening to the 'face' of nature (weather) was vital for survival. Children are expected to 'return from their face' (stop their stubbornness) when an elder speaks. It is a sign of 'тәрбие' (upbringing). In bazaar culture, 'Бетін қайтару' is a tactic where a buyer acts like they are leaving to make the seller lower the price.
Use the Negative
Using 'Бетінен қайтпау' (not turning back) is a very strong way to show you are determined. It sounds very native and impressive.
Case Sensitivity
Always use '-нен' or '-нан'. Using other cases will change the meaning or make it nonsensical.
