Signification
A gifted young person
Contexte culturel
There is a deep respect for 'Mugham' child singers. An 'istedadlı uşaq' in this field is often seen as a national treasure. The concept of 'Specialized Schools' (Gimnaziya) for talented children is very common and highly competitive. Azerbaijan is a chess powerhouse. 'İstedadlı uşaq' is the standard term for young grandmasters-to-be. Parents often use 'Maşallah' alongside this phrase to prevent 'nəzər' (the evil eye) when praising a child.
Use with 'çox'
Always add 'çox' (very) to make the compliment sound more natural: 'Çox istedadlı uşaqdır.'
Avoid 'Talentli'
Even though it sounds like English, 'talentli' is not a standard Azerbaijani word.
