معنی
An intelligent young person
زمینه فرهنگی
Children are often given names related to intelligence, like Akylbek or Akylzhan, hoping they will grow into 'ақылды' adults. The 'Intellectual Schools of the First President' (NIS) are where the most 'ақылды балалар' strive to study, making the phrase synonymous with academic elite status. When a guest praises a child as 'ақылды', it is polite for the parent to downplay it slightly (to avoid the 'evil eye') while still being pleased. The 'Seven Ancestors' (Jeti Ata) rule requires children to be 'ақылды' enough to memorize their lineage, a key test of intelligence in the past.
The Suffix Secret
The '-ды' suffix is your best friend. Add it to nouns to describe people: Күш (Strength) -> Күшті (Strong).
Age Matters
Don't use 'бала' for anyone over 18 in a professional context. It can be offensive.

It covers both. It's about having a good mind, whether for school or for life decisions.
Add 'өте' (very): 'Ол өте ақылды бала'.
