意味
Someone with very little money.
文化的背景
Historically, poverty was linked to the loss of livestock. A 'кедей' was often a 'жатақ' (one who stays), meaning they couldn't migrate with the herds. The 'кедей' was glorified in Soviet Kazakh literature as the hero of the revolution, contrasting with the 'oppressive' Bai class. There is a strong cultural emphasis on 'Asar'—a tradition where the community helps a poor person build a house or harvest crops for free. The 'кедей' in Kazakh tales is almost always portrayed as wiser and more clever than the rich, reflecting a moral victory over material wealth.
Use with 'өте'
To say 'very poor', simply add 'өте' (öte) before 'кедей'.
Don't be too blunt
In social settings, avoid labeling people as 'кедей' directly; it can be seen as a lack of 'әдеп' (etiquette).

The 'Bai' contrast
Always learn 'кедей' alongside 'бай' (rich). They are the most common pair in Kazakh social vocabulary.
