Özet:

Tales, which have a very important place in the oral culture of a nation; traditions, customs, and customs of the nation to which they belong, in short, their perspectives on life are tools that carry them to the future within the scope of acceptance and rejection. The Kazakhs and their narratives, which continue the traces of the oral tradition in ancient geography, provide rich examples for the fairy tale genre. The tales called "ertegi" in Kazakh oral literature also shed light on the historical adventure of the Kazakh people. The "heroic tales", which are evaluated between extraordinary tales and heroic epics, are products of oral tradition with a more limited variety of topics, the main theme of which is based on the emphasis on "heroism".
