Signification
Inseparable or very tight relationship.
Contexte culturel
The idiom reflects the importance of 'felt' (kiiz) in nomadic life. High-quality felt was a matter of life and death in the winter. Young Kazakhs use this idiom frequently on Instagram and TikTok to show off their 'squad' or best friends. If you are 'qyl ötpéydi' with a Kazakh person, you are essentially family. You will be invited to every wedding and 'toi'. Great Kazakh poets like Abai used similar metaphors to describe the ideal of human unity and brotherhood.
Use with Possessives

Don't use for physical gaps
If you are talking about a gap in a door or a fence, just use 'тесік' (hole) or 'саңылау' (gap).
