뜻
A child who is very clever.
문화적 배경
Praising a child as 'ağıllı' is often a indirect way to praise the parents' 'tərbiyə' (upbringing). In Turkey, 'Akıllı çocuk' is used identically, but there is a stronger emphasis on 'Uslu' for behavior. Similar Turkic roots exist, where 'Aqlli' (Uzbek) carries the same weight of wisdom and social propriety. Azerbaijani parents abroad often use this phrase to maintain cultural standards of respect and academic focus.
Double Meaning
Remember that if a parent says this, they probably mean 'thanks for being quiet'.
Adult Usage
Never call your boss an 'ağıllı uşaq' unless you want to get fired for being patronizing!
