Before we dive into the vocabulary, let's explore some cultural insights related to shopping and consumerism in Kazakhstan. As a rapidly developing country, Kazakhstan has witnessed significant changes in its shopping landscape over the years. Traditional bazaars and markets, known as "bazar" in Kazakh, still play a vital role in the shopping culture, offering a wide range of products, including fresh produce, clothing, household items, and more.
In addition to traditional markets, modern shopping malls and retail stores have become increasingly popular, especially in urban areas. These malls offer a diverse range of international and local brands, making them a favorite destination for many Kazakh shoppers. Kazakhstan's capital city, Nur-Sultan, and its largest city, Almaty, are home to several large shopping centers that cater to a wide range of consumer preferences and budgets.

While the metric system is widely used for scientific and official purposes, the traditional system is still prevalent in everyday life, especially when it comes to measurements related to clothing and fabric. Understanding these cultural aspects will provide valuable context as we explore the vocabulary related to sizes and measurements in Kazakh.
