__TOC__
This lesson is part of the "Complete 0 to A1 Kazakh Course" and is designed for students who are complete beginners.

By the end of this lesson, you will have a good understanding of how to form and use questions in Kazakh, enabling you to communicate effectively in everyday situations.


As a Kazakh language teacher with 20 years of experience, I am thrilled to share with you some of the most common expressions for asking questions in Kazakh. Understanding these expressions is key to effective communication with native speakers and for navigating daily life in Kazakh-speaking contexts.
== Asking Yes/No Questions ==


== General Questions ==
=== Basic Structure ===


General questions are used to gather information or seek clarification. Here are some of the most commonly used expressions for asking general questions in Kazakh:
In Kazakh, yes/no questions are formed by placing the question particle "бе?" at the end of a statement. This question particle "бе?" is equivalent to the English question particle "isn't it?" or "right?" and is used to indicate that the speaker is seeking confirmation or agreement. Let's look at some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Бұл қандай? || Bul qanday? || What is this?
| Сіз студент боласыз бе? || Siz student bolasiz be? || Are you a student?
|-
|-
| Оған қандай атты? || O'gan qanday atty? || What's his/her name?
| Ол кітап оқырады бе? || Ol kitap oqyrady be? || Does he/she read a book?
|-
|-
| Сенің атың қандай? || Senin atyñ qanday? || What's your name?
| Біз шынымен осы кезде боламыз бе? || Biz shynymen osy kezde bolamyz be? || Are we really going to be here at this time?
|-
|-
| Қалай жазылуы керек? || Qalai jazylwı kerek? || How do you write it?
| Сіз әдетте алкоголь ішесіз бе? || Siz adette alkol ishesiz be? || Do you usually drink alcohol?
|-
| Қалай оқуға жүріс беру керек? || Qalai oqyğa jwris berwı kerek? || How do you get to the school?
|}
|}


Remember the Kazakh language follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) syntax, which means the verb usually comes at the end of the sentence. So, when forming a question, the sentence structure changes to Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) syntax. For example, in the sentence "Сіз Алматыға барасыз ба?" (Siz Almatyğa barasız ba?) the verb "бару" (baru) meaning "to go" is placed at the beginning of the sentence while the subject "Сіз" (Siz) meaning "you" is placed next.
As you can see, by adding the question particle "бе?" to the end of the statement, we can transform a statement into a yes/no question. It is important to note that the question particle "бе?" is not necessary when the question word is included in the sentence (e.g., Кім? - Who? Жақсы? - Is it good?).


== Yes or No Questions ==
=== Negative Questions ===


Yes or No questions are used to get a direct answer of either "yes" or "no". Here are some of the most common expressions for asking Yes or No questions in Kazakh:
To form negative questions in Kazakh, we use the negative particle "емес" before the question particle "бе?". The negative particle "емес" is equivalent to the English word "not". Let's take a look at some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Ол келді ме? || Ol keldi me? || Did he/she come?
| Сіз студент емес бе? || Siz student emes be? || Aren't you a student?
|-
|-
| Сен келдің бе? || Sen keldiñ be? || Did you come?
| Ол кітап оқырмайды бе? || Ol kitap oqyrmaidy be? || Doesn't he/she read a book?
|-
|-
| Ол дауыс берді ме? || Ol dawıs berdi me? || Did he/she give an answer?
| Біз шынымен осы кезде боламаймыз бе? || Biz shynymen osy kezde bolamaymyz be? || Aren't we really going to be here at this time?
|-
|-
| Бұл еңбекшінің күні болды ма? || Bul enbekshiniñ kwni boldı ma? || Was it the day of this worker?
| Сіз әдетте алкоголь ішпесіз бе? || Siz adette alkol ishpesiz be? || Don't you usually drink alcohol?
|}
|}


To form a Yes or No question in Kazakh, add the particle "ме" (me) at the end of the sentence. An answer to a Yes or No question in Kazakh can be either formed by repeating the verb or by saying "иә" (iä) for "yes" and "жоқ" (joq) for "no".
By adding the negative particle "емес" before the question particle "бе?", we can form negative questions in Kazakh. This structure allows us to ask questions that confirm the absence or negation of a certain statement.
 
== Asking Wh-Questions ==


== Wh- Questions ==
=== Basic Structure ===


Wh- questions are used for obtaining specific information about a topic or an action. Here are some of the most common expressions for asking Wh- questions in Kazakh:
Wh-questions in Kazakh are formed by using question words such as "кім?" (who?), "кімге?" (to whom?), "кімде?" (where?), "не?" (what?), "не істеді?" (what did?), and many others. These question words are placed at the beginning of the question, followed by the verb and the subject. Let's look at some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Өтеуге не қажет? || Ötewge ne qajet? || What do we need to leave?
| Кім бар ма? || Kim bar ma? || Who is there?
|-
|-
| Қайдан келдің? || Qaydan keldiñ? || Where did you come from?
| Қайда барасыз? || Qaida barasiz? || Where are you going?
|-
|-
| Саған қандай көмек көрсете аламын? || Sağan qanday kömek körsete alamın? || How can I help you?
| Не істеп жүресіз? || Ne istep jyuresiz? || What are you doing?
|-
|-
| Қалай тәрбие беруіңіз керек? || Qalai tärbiye berwıñız kerek? || How do you discipline?
| Кімге қарымсыз? || Kimge qarymsyz? || Whom are you waiting for?
|}
|}


Wh- questions begin with one of the question-asking words such as "не" (ne) for "what", "қандай" (qanday) for "how", "қайда" (qayda) for "where", or "неге" (nege) for "why".
As you can see, by using question words at the beginning of the sentence, we can form wh-questions in Kazakh. The verb and the subject follow the question word, allowing us to gather specific information about a certain action or situation.


== Tag Questions ==  
=== Question Words ===


Tag questions are used to confirm information or to seek agreement from the listener. Here are some of the most common expressions for asking tag questions in Kazakh:
Kazakh has a variety of question words that can be used to ask different types of questions. Here are some commonly used question words and their translations:

Tag questions consist of two parts: the statement and the tagged-on question. The statement generally uses the second person, "сен" (sen) or "сіз" (siz) and is followed by a tag question which confirms the accuracy of the statement.
These question words can be used to ask a wide range of questions and are essential for effective communication in Kazakh.
 
== Cultural Insights ==
 
In Kazakh culture, asking questions is seen as a way of showing interest and engagement in a conversation. It is considered polite to ask questions to clarify information, seek advice, or express curiosity. Kazakh people value open and honest communication, and asking questions is often encouraged to foster deeper understanding and connection.
 
Regional variations in the usage and understanding of questions may exist within Kazakhstan due to the diverse ethnic groups and their respective languages. For example, in the southern regions of Kazakhstan, where the majority of the population is Kazakh, the usage of Kazakh language is more prevalent and questions are more commonly asked in Kazakh. However, in urban areas and regions with a significant Russian-speaking population, questions may also be asked in Russian.

Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will focus on learning the common expressions used for asking questions in Kazakh. Asking questions is an essential part of communication, as it allows us to gather information, seek clarification, and engage in meaningful conversations. By familiarizing yourself with these expressions, you will be able to confidently ask questions and navigate various social situations in the Kazakh-speaking world.

This lesson is part of the "Complete 0 to A1 Kazakh Course" and is designed for students who are complete beginners. The goal is to provide a solid foundation in the Kazakh language and take students to the A1 level of proficiency. By the end of this lesson, you will have a good understanding of how to form and use questions in Kazakh, enabling you to communicate effectively in everyday situations.

Asking Yes/No Questions[edit | edit source]

Basic Structure[edit | edit source]

In Kazakh, yes/no questions are formed by placing the question particle "бе?" at the end of a statement. This question particle "бе?" is equivalent to the English question particle "isn't it?" or "right?" and is used to indicate that the speaker is seeking confirmation or agreement. Let's look at some examples:

Kazakh Pronunciation English
Сіз студент боласыз бе? Siz student bolasiz be? Are you a student?
Ол кітап оқырады бе? Ol kitap oqyrady be? Does he/she read a book?
Біз шынымен осы кезде боламыз бе? Biz shynymen osy kezde bolamyz be? Are we really going to be here at this time?
Сіз әдетте алкоголь ішесіз бе? Siz adette alkol ishesiz be? Do you usually drink alcohol?

As you can see, by adding the question particle "бе?" to the end of the statement, we can transform a statement into a yes/no question. It is important to note that the question particle "бе?" is not necessary when the question word is included in the sentence (e.g., Кім? - Who? Жақсы? - Is it good?).

Negative Questions[edit | edit source]

To form negative questions in Kazakh, we use the negative particle "емес" before the question particle "бе?". The negative particle "емес" is equivalent to the English word "not". Let's take a look at some examples:

Kazakh Pronunciation English
Сіз студент емес бе? Siz student emes be? Aren't you a student?
Ол кітап оқырмайды бе? Ol kitap oqyrmaidy be? Doesn't he/she read a book?
Біз шынымен осы кезде боламаймыз бе? Biz shynymen osy kezde bolamaymyz be? Aren't we really going to be here at this time?
Сіз әдетте алкоголь ішпесіз бе? Siz adette alkol ishpesiz be? Don't you usually drink alcohol?

By adding the negative particle "емес" before the question particle "бе?", we can form negative questions in Kazakh. This structure allows us to ask questions that confirm the absence or negation of a certain statement.

Asking Wh-Questions[edit | edit source]

Basic Structure[edit | edit source]

Wh-questions in Kazakh are formed by using question words such as "кім?" (who?), "кімге?" (to whom?), "кімде?" (where?), "не?" (what?), "не істеді?" (what did?), and many others. These question words are placed at the beginning of the question, followed by the verb and the subject. Let's look at some examples:

Kazakh Pronunciation English
Кім бар ма? Kim bar ma? Who is there?
Қайда барасыз? Qaida barasiz? Where are you going?
Не істеп жүресіз? Ne istep jyuresiz? What are you doing?
Кімге қарымсыз? Kimge qarymsyz? Whom are you waiting for?

As you can see, by using question words at the beginning of the sentence, we can form wh-questions in Kazakh. The verb and the subject follow the question word, allowing us to gather specific information about a certain action or situation.

Question Words[edit | edit source]

Kazakh has a variety of question words that can be used to ask different types of questions. Here are some commonly used question words and their translations:

Kazakh Pronunciation English
Кім? Kim? Who?
Қайда? Qaida? Where?
Не? Ne? What?
Қандай? Qanday? How?
Неге? Nege? Why?
Кімге? Kimge? To whom?
Қашан? Qashan? When?
Қанша? Qansha? How much?
Қалай? Qalay? How?

These question words can be used to ask a wide range of questions and are essential for effective communication in Kazakh.

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

In Kazakh culture, asking questions is seen as a way of showing interest and engagement in a conversation. It is considered polite to ask questions to clarify information, seek advice, or express curiosity. Kazakh people value open and honest communication, and asking questions is often encouraged to foster deeper understanding and connection.
