A large urban area.
زمینه فرهنگی
Tashkent is often referred to as 'Toshkent - azim shahar' (Tashkent the mighty city) in formal contexts, but 'katta shahar' is the everyday term. Historically, 'Katta shahar' referred to the major stops on the Silk Road like Samarkand, which were centers of science and culture. Young people often move to the 'katta shahar' for 'imkoniyatlar' (opportunities), leading to a vibrant, multicultural urban scene. In villages, 'katta shahar' is sometimes used to describe a place that is overwhelming or where people are 'too busy'.
