The number «one» in the world culture means the primary unity, the beginning and the creator, and is also a symbol of man (microcosm). In Turkic/ Kazakh culture, this number symbolises the unity of the universe and the unity of God, which is reflected in the expression «Bir Täñir» (one Tengri/ one God), i.e. the number «one» – the beginning of everything, and also expresses unity, unity and even absolute peace. “Zhalğyz” sometimes also has a negative meaning, which is reflected in the expressions: «zhalğyzdyk» (loneliness), which in the national understanding is mainly inherent only in the Supreme and the universe – «zhalğyzdyk Qudaiğa ğana zharasady»; «Zhalğyzdyn üni shyqpas, zhayaudyn shany shyqpas» – «one does not even have a right to a voice», indicating the powerlessness of man, a peculiar equivalent of the Russian expression – «one in the field is not a warrior».
