معنی
A generous person
زمینه فرهنگی
Generosity is linked to the concept of 'Bereké' (blessing/abundance). It is believed that an open hand brings 'Bereké' to the whole family. In the south, hospitality is often more ceremonial. 'Қолы ашық' is used to describe hosts who provide multiple courses of food over several hours. In the oil-rich west, the term is frequently used to describe successful businessmen who give back to their native villages (tugān jer). Historically, a 'Қолы ашық' leader (Batyr or Bi) would gain more followers than a wealthy but stingy one. Generosity was a political tool for leadership.
