KAZAKLARDA AŞIK (AYTISKER) ATIŞMALARININ (AYTISLARIN) ÖZELLİKLERİ
PECULIARITIES OF AKYN'S AND AYTYS IN THE KAZAKH

Summary/Abstract: Aytys; this is an oral verse expressing the truth of life. Two aytiskers gather together to find ways to achieve superiority against each other and compete with each other. First of all, they mutually greet each other. Then they honor them, asking the state and sincerity of the listeners. After the part of the greeting is completed, they go to the main part. Regardless of who is on the other side, they try to catch each other with their thoughts and words. Words reveal beauty, amazement, philosophy, efficiency, wit. This kind of oral folk poetry, like aytys, appeared in the 19th century, at a time when Kazakh music is freed from the chained chains of religion and ritual and begins to develop as an independent folk art.
