Significado
A shortcut or brief route
Contexto cultural
The concept of 'Ak Zhol' (White Road) is a cultural blessing for a safe journey. While 'Qysqa Zhol' is practical, 'Ak Zhol' is spiritual. Historically, shortcuts were often dangerous as they might lack water sources. A 'short road' required trust in the guide. In Almaty, 'shortcuts' often involve driving through 'dvory' (courtyards), though this is increasingly restricted. Kazakhs are heavy users of 2GIS. The app's ability to find a 'qysqa zhol' is a frequent topic of conversation.
Use with -мен

Avoid 'Кішкентай'
Never use 'кішкентай' for a shortcut. It sounds like you are talking about a toy road.
