Hello everyone,

Kazakhs place a strong emphasis on the family:

  • Kazakh families have a nomadic history and lived in yurts, which influenced close family relationships.
  • Kazakh culture values elders and expects children to show respect and obedience.
  • Family gatherings, such as weddings and celebrations, are important events to reinforce family ties and values.

In today's lesson, you'll see the different family members in Kazakh.
