Gender[edit | edit source]

Kirghiz nouns have two genders: masculine and feminine. However, there are some words that can have both genders, depending on the context in which they are used. For example, "doctor" can be either masculine or feminine, depending on the gender of the person being referred to.

Here are some common Kirghiz nouns and their genders:

Kirghiz Pronunciation Gender English
аял ayal feminine woman
адам adam masculine man
бала bala neutral child

Number[edit | edit source]

Kirghiz nouns can be singular or plural. The plural is usually formed by adding the suffix "-дар" (dar) to the end of the noun.

түш tüş bird түшдөр (tüşdör)
омуз omuz shoulder омуздар (omuzdar)

Cases[edit | edit source]

Kirghiz nouns change according to their grammatical case, which indicates the noun's function in the sentence. Kirghiz has seven cases:

1. Nominative 2. Genitive 3. Dative 4. Accusative 5. Locative 6. Ablative 7. Comitative

Each case has a suffix that is added to the end of the noun.

Nominative[edit | edit source]

The nominative case is used for the subject of the sentence, and it does not require a suffix.

  • Он бала. (On bala.) - He is a child.

Genitive[edit | edit source]

The genitive case is used to show possession, and it is formed by adding the suffix "-нын" (nyn) to the end of the noun.

Dative[edit | edit source]

The dative case is used to indicate the indirect object of the sentence. It is formed by adding the suffix "-га" (ga) to the end of the noun.
