Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/kazakh Kazakh] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will explore the use of adjectives in Kazakh. Adjectives are important in every language as they help to describe and give more information about nouns. Understanding how to use Kazakh adjectives will help you to better communicate in the language. We will also include interesting cultural information along the way, so let's get started!<br> __TOC__


== Types of Adjectives ==
== What are adjectives? ==


Adjectives can be divided into two main categories: descriptive adjectives and possessive adjectives.  
In grammar, an adjective is a word that modifies a noun or pronoun. Adjectives provide more information about the noun, including its size, color, type, quantity, and other characteristics.
 
For example:
* Beautiful Kazakh rug (the adjective "beautiful" describes the noun "rug")
* Small Kazakh village (the adjective "small" describes the noun "village")
 
In Kazakh, adjectives are usually placed before the noun. The order of words is generally subject – adjective – noun – verb.
 
For example:
* Жақсы ойыншыл мұң (Good player)
* Қысқа шәһәрдегі мектептер (Schools in a small town)
 
== Kazakh Adjective Endings ==
 
In Kazakh, there are three types of adjectives: descriptive, relative and possessive. Each type of adjective has a different ending, depending on the noun it modifies.

* Small
* Round
* Square
* Red
* Blue

In Kazakh, descriptive adjectives come before the noun they are describing. For example:  
Here are some examples:  


* Көп тамақ (Big tree)
{| class="wikitable"
* Кіші қорақ (Small mountain)
! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English
* Түсті айырма (Red book)
|-
| қара-дық || qara-dıq || black
|-
| аз-лық || az-lyq || few
|-
| тәлан-ға || tälan-ğa || to the mountain  
|-
| шын-дық || shyn-dyq || true
|-
| қазына-лық || qazyna-lyq || rich
|}


=== Possessive Adjectives ===
=== Relative Adjectives ===
Possessive adjectives are used to show ownership or possession. Examples of possessive adjectives include:


* My
Relative adjectives are used to express possession or relationship between two nouns. In Kazakh, relative adjectives usually end in -ның/-нің, -дағы/-дегі, -да/-де/-та/-те or -нан/-нен.
* Your
* His
* Her
* Its
* Our
* Their


In Kazakh, possessive adjectives come after the noun they are describing. For example:  
Here are some examples:  


* Тамақтың менің (My tree)
{| class="wikitable"
* Айырмасың сіздің (Your book)
! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English
* Тауың оның (His mountain)
|-
| әке-нің || äke-niń || father's
|-
| қала-дағы || qala-dağy || city's
|-
| кітап-та || kitap-ta || in the book
|-
| құм-нан || qum-nan || from the sand
|}


== Adjective Agreement ==
=== Possessive Adjectives ===
 
In Kazakh, adjectives must agree with the noun they are describing in terms of gender and number. For example, if the noun is masculine singular, then the adjective must also be masculine singular. If the noun is feminine plural, then the adjective must also be feminine plural.


For example:
Possessive adjectives are used to indicate ownership or possession of something. In Kazakh, possessive adjectives usually end in -ым/-ім, -ың/-ің, -ы/-і, -ымыз/-іміз, -ыңыз/-іңіз or -ылар/-ілер.


* Көп тамақ (Big tree - masculine singular)
Here are some examples:
* Көп тамақтар (Big trees - masculine plural)
* Көп қарағай (Big house - feminine singular)
* Көп қарағайлар (Big houses - feminine plural)


== Adjective Order ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| менің || meniń || my
|-
| сенің || seniń || your
|-
| оның || onyń || his/her/its
|-
| біздің || bizdiń || our
|-
| сендердің || senderdiń || your (plural)
|-
| олардың || olardyń || their
|}


When using multiple adjectives to describe a noun, it is important to remember the correct order in which they should be placed. The order is as follows:

* Dialogue: A: Жақсы жер емес ба? (Isn't it a good place?) B: Жоғары деңгейдегі жерді қатар жақсы жер емес. (It's not a good place compared to the high-level places.)


* Түсті кіші тамақ (Red small tree)
== Conclusion ==
* Тартысты балақай қарағай (Square white house)
