Abstract

This study examines cultural and linguistic nuances of the concept "respect/urmat- syi/respect" in medical texts, comparing examples from Kyrgyz, Russian and English languages. The concept "respect/urmat-syy/respect" plays an important role in doctor-patient communication and affects the quality of medical care. In a multicultural environment where people of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds meet, it becomes increasingly important to understand the subtle differences in the meaning and application of this term. This article analyses how 'respect/urmat-say/respect' is expressed in medical texts and documents in the three languages mentioned and what cultural implications result from this. Through detailed analyses of selected medical texts, differences and similarities will be identified, indicating the cultural values and norms of the respective language communities. This study helps to deepen understanding of the importance of respect in medical communication and highlights the importance of recognising linguistic and cultural differences in medical practice. The findings offer valuable insights for medical practitioners, translators and ethicists working in international and multicultural settings.
