Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/tatar Tatar] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we are going to explore the basics of Tatar nouns. Nouns are one of the most essential parts of speech in any language, as they can describe the name of anything around us.

== Types of Nouns ==
== Introduction to Tatar Nouns ==
 
Every Tatar noun has the following components:


Tatar has two main types of nouns: common nouns and proper nouns. Common nouns refer to general things, such as "cat" or "table". Proper nouns refer to specific people, places, or things, such as "John" or "Moscow".  
* **Root** - the core component of a word.
* **Ending** - the final sound, syllable, or letter of a word.
* **Suffix** - an affix added to the end of a word to create a new meaning or modify an existing one.


=== Gender ===
In Tatar, many of the suffixes can change depending on the vowel harmony.


Tatar nouns also have gender, which can be either masculine, feminine, or neuter. Masculine nouns usually end in -a or -e, while feminine nouns usually end in -i or -u. Neuter nouns usually end in -o or -y.
== Tatar Noun Cases ==


=== Plurals ===
Tatar nouns can have up to six cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative, and ablative.


Tatar nouns can also be singular or plural. To form the plural of a noun, you usually add -lar or -ler to the end of the word. For example, the plural of "kitap" (book) is "kitablar" (books).
=== Nominative Case ===


== Noun Cases ==
The nominative case is the subject of the sentence. For example:


Tatar nouns also have cases, which indicate how the noun is used in a sentence. There are six cases in Tatar: nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, locative, and instrumental.  
{| class="wikitable"
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| kitap  || /ki.tɑp/ || book
|}


=== Nominative Case ===
The noun "kitap" is in the nominative case because it is the subject of the sentence:
 
"Kitap qara." (The book is black.)
 
=== Genitive Case ===


The nominative case is used for the subject of a sentence. For example, in the sentence "The cat is sleeping", "cat" is in the nominative case.
The genitive case is used to show possession or to indicate the relationship between two nouns. For example:


=== Accusative Case ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| ağacın  || /ɑ.ɣɑ.t͡sɯn/ || tree's
|-
| yoldaşımın  || /jol.dɑ.ʃɯ.mɯn/ || my friend's
|-
| xalıqın  || /xɑ.lɯq.ɯn/ || of the people
|}


The accusative case is used for the direct object of a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I saw the cat", "cat" is in the accusative case.  
The noun "ağac" means "tree" and "ın" is the genitive case suffix. Therefore, "ağacın" means "tree's".


=== Dative Case ===
=== Dative Case ===


The dative case is used for the indirect object of a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I gave the cat a treat", "cat" is in the dative case.
The dative case is used to indicate the indirect object of a sentence. For example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| kitäbe  || /ki.tæ.bɛ/ || to the book
|}


=== Genitive Case ===
The noun "kitap" means "book" and "e" is the dative case suffix. Therefore, "kitäbe" means "to the book".
 
=== Accusative Case ===
 
The accusative case is used to indicate the direct object of a sentence. For example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| kitabı  || /ki.tɑ.bɯ/ || the book
|}


The genitive case is used to show possession. For example, in the sentence "The cat's tail is fluffy", "cat's" is in the genitive case.  
The noun "kitap" means "book" and "ı" is the accusative case suffix. Therefore, "kitabı" means "the book".


=== Locative Case ===
=== Locative Case ===


The locative case is used to show location. For example, in the sentence "The cat is under the table", "table" is in the locative case.  
The locative case is used to indicate the location of an object or person. For example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| kitapta  || /ki.tɑp.tɑ/ || on the book
|-
| işäräte  || /i.ʃæræ.tɛ/ || at the sign
|}
 
The noun "kitap" means "book" and "ta" is the locative case suffix. Therefore, "kitapta" means "on the book".
 
=== Ablative Case ===
 
The ablative case is used to indicate the origin of an object or person. For example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| kitapdan  || /ki.tɑp.dæn/ || from the book
|-
| qorımdan  || /ko.rɯm.dæn/ || from the village
|}
 
The noun "kitap" means "book" and "dan" is the ablative case suffix. Therefore, "kitapdan" means "from the book".
 
== Plural Forms of Tatar Nouns ==
 
To form the plural of a Tatar noun, we need to add the plural suffix. There are different plural suffixes depending on the vowel harmony. Here are a few examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| albatsarlar  || /ɑl.bɑt.sɑr.lɑr/ || bats
|-
| qazanlar  || /qɑ.zɑn.lɑr/ || pans
|-
| elchiler  || /ɛl.t͡ʃi.lɛr/ || messengers
|}

* Person 1: Тиң чын букет — ачычат? (Tiñ çın buket — açıçat?) (What flowers are in your bouquet?)
* Person 2: Чөпкер – туя киңәш. (Çöpkär – tuya kiñäş.) (Chrysanthemums are small and delicate.)

Tatar Grammar - Nouns

Hi Tatar learners! 😊
In this lesson, we are going to explore the basics of Tatar nouns. Nouns are one of the most essential parts of speech in any language, as they can describe the name of anything around us.

Introduction to Tatar Nouns

Every Tatar noun has the following components:

  • **Root** - the core component of a word.
  • **Ending** - the final sound, syllable, or letter of a word.
  • **Suffix** - an affix added to the end of a word to create a new meaning or modify an existing one.

In Tatar, many of the suffixes can change depending on the vowel harmony.

Tatar Noun Cases

Tatar nouns can have up to six cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative, and ablative.

Nominative Case

The nominative case is the subject of the sentence. For example:

Tatar Pronunciation English
kitap /ki.tɑp/ book

The noun "kitap" is in the nominative case because it is the subject of the sentence:

"Kitap qara." (The book is black.)

Genitive Case

The genitive case is used to show possession or to indicate the relationship between two nouns. For example:

Tatar Pronunciation English
ağacın /ɑ.ɣɑ.t͡sɯn/ tree's
yoldaşımın /jol.dɑ.ʃɯ.mɯn/ my friend's
xalıqın /xɑ.lɯq.ɯn/ of the people

The noun "ağac" means "tree" and "ın" is the genitive case suffix. Therefore, "ağacın" means "tree's".

Dative Case

The dative case is used to indicate the indirect object of a sentence. For example:

Tatar Pronunciation English
kitäbe /ki.tæ.bɛ/ to the book

The noun "kitap" means "book" and "e" is the dative case suffix. Therefore, "kitäbe" means "to the book".

Accusative Case

The accusative case is used to indicate the direct object of a sentence. For example:

Tatar Pronunciation English
kitabı /ki.tɑ.bɯ/ the book

The noun "kitap" means "book" and "ı" is the accusative case suffix. Therefore, "kitabı" means "the book".

Locative Case

The locative case is used to indicate the location of an object or person. For example:

Tatar Pronunciation English
kitapta /ki.tɑp.tɑ/ on the book
işäräte /i.ʃæræ.tɛ/ at the sign

The noun "kitap" means "book" and "ta" is the locative case suffix. Therefore, "kitapta" means "on the book".

Ablative Case

The ablative case is used to indicate the origin of an object or person. For example:

Tatar Pronunciation English
kitapdan /ki.tɑp.dæn/ from the book
qorımdan /ko.rɯm.dæn/ from the village

The noun "kitap" means "book" and "dan" is the ablative case suffix. Therefore, "kitapdan" means "from the book".

Plural Forms of Tatar Nouns

To form the plural of a Tatar noun, we need to add the plural suffix. There are different plural suffixes depending on the vowel harmony. Here are a few examples:

Tatar Pronunciation English
albatsarlar /ɑl.bɑt.sɑr.lɑr/ bats
qazanlar /qɑ.zɑn.lɑr/ pans
elchiler /ɛl.t͡ʃi.lɛr/ messengers

An example dialogue with Tatar nouns:

  • Person 1: Тиң чын букет — ачычат? (Tiñ çın buket — açıçat?) (What flowers are in your bouquet?)
  • Person 2: Чөпкер – туя киңәш. (Çöpkär – tuya kiñäş.) (Chrysanthemums are small and delicate.)
