المعنى
To hurt someone with words.
خلفية ثقافية
In traditional Kazakh society, 'тіл тигізу' against a guest (qonaq) was considered a major violation of the code of hospitality (Qonaqjaylylyq) and could result in a fine of a horse or a camel. Kazakhstan has specific laws regarding 'insulting the honor and dignity' of public officials. In these legal documents, 'тіл тигізу' is the standard term used to describe the offense. There is a religious dimension where 'тіл тигізу' towards prophets or sacred texts is seen as a spiritual sin (günah) that requires 'Toba' (repentance). Ancient judges (Biler) were masters of avoiding 'тіл тигізу' while still delivering harsh truths. They used metaphors to correct behavior without directly 'touching' the person's honor.
Case Sensitivity
Always remember the Dative case. Saying 'Мені тіл тигізді' sounds like 'He touched my tongue' literally, which is very weird.
The Power of Silence
In Kazakh culture, responding to 'тіл тигізу' with silence is often seen as a sign of superior upbringing (Tärbie).

Ол мен___ тіл тигізді.
