뜻
A river with much depth
문화적 배경
Rivers like the Irtysh and Syr Darya are central to Kazakh identity. A 'deep river' is seen as a source of mystery and respect. In Kazakh poetry, 'depth' is the ultimate praise for a thinker. Shallow water is mocked as 'shala' (incomplete). The proverb 'Терең өзен тыныш ағады' (Deep rivers flow quietly) is used to teach children to be humble and thoughtful. Environmentalism regarding deep rivers is a growing movement, especially concerning the Ural (Zhaiyq) river.
