qara küç

/qara kytʃ/

Literal translation

black strength

Sheer bodily strength, the power of muscle alone, as opposed to skill, calculation or cunning.

Emegen halqnı injiltgenine tözalmay, Sosuruq bir jolda emegen bla küreşirge atlanŋandı. Emegenni qara küç bla horlayalmazlığın bilib, Sosuruq, sağış etib, hıyla jaraşdırğandı.Unable to endure the giant's tormenting of the people, Sosuruq once set out to fight him. Knowing that he could not defeat the giant by brute force, Sosuruq thought it over and devised a trick.
Bizni işibizde qara küçden sora da ustalıq, esep kerekdi, çögüç töşge boşuna tiymezge kerekdi.In our work, besides brute strength, skill and calculation are needed — the hammer must not strike the anvil for nothing.
