Description Aytiz is one unique form of oral expressions of Kazakh people to sing in pairs. According to its contents, aytiz is classified into basic aytiz, jar jar aytiz, aytiz of animals and humans, aytiz for this life and the life after death, riddle aytiz and aytiz for rituals and practices. Among these forms, the aytiz for rituals and practices is well developed and widely spread. Dombor (Kazakh traditional stringed instrument) players with good voices compete with each other in poetic manners. When pairs are singing Aytiz, they reflect good and bad personality of each other, and compliments the good things and criticize the failures in their community (bagh, soum, city and country) in a way of debating to compromise the opposite person.
