뜻
Literally 'has no heart', meaning someone who is afraid.
문화적 배경
Bravery is a core pillar of 'Yigitlik' (Manhood). To call a man 'yuragi yo'q' is a direct challenge to his masculine identity, though it's often used jokingly today. In the capital, Russian influence has introduced 'Dux' (Spirit) as a synonym for 'Yurak' in this context. 'Duxi yo'q' is the cool, street version of 'Yuragi yo'q'. In the more traditional Fergana region, idioms involving the heart are taken more seriously. Using 'yuragi yo'q' might be seen as more offensive than in Tashkent. In many Uzbek fairy tales (Ertaklar), heroes are described as 'Sheryurak' (Lion-hearted). The villain or the 'false hero' is often revealed to have 'no heart' when danger arises.
The 'Chicken' Rule
Whenever you want to call someone a 'chicken' in English, 'Yuragi yo'q' is your best Uzbek equivalent.
Cruelty vs. Fear
Double-check before using! If you mean someone is 'mean', use 'bag'ritosh'. If you mean they are 'scared', use 'yuragi yo'q'.

Add 'Ekan'
Adding 'ekan' at the end (Yuragi yo'q ekan) makes it sound more natural, like you just discovered their cowardice.
Gender Nuance
While used for everyone, it's a stronger 'poke' when used toward men due to traditional expectations of bravery.
