معنی
Literally 'nose raised', meaning a conceited person.
زمینه فرهنگی
Humility (kamtarlik) is considered one of the most important virtues in Uzbek society. Children are taught from a young age to keep their 'nose down' and respect elders. In the context of 'Mahalla' (neighborhood) culture, someone with a 'raised nose' is often socially isolated as a form of community punishment. With the rise of Instagram influencers in Tashkent, this phrase is seeing a revival to describe 'stars' who don't interact with their followers.
