Significado
Skills always provide for you
Contexto cultural
In the nomadic era, 'өнер' was the only form of wealth that didn't require a pasture. A master of the word (akyn) or a master of iron (ustara) was welcome in any yurt. The proverb is a staple in the Kazakh education system, used to promote 'Professional-Technical Education' (Kásiptik-tehnıkalyq bilim). Handicrafts like felt-making (kiiz basu) and jewelry making (zergerlik) are seen as sacred 'өнер' passed down through generations. Playing the dombra is considered the highest 'өнер'. It is said that a true Kazakh is not a Kazakh, but the dombra is a Kazakh.
