Throughout this lesson, we will cover the Kazakh number system from 0 to 100 and explore how to use numbers in different contexts. We will also provide cultural insights and interesting facts about the Kazakh language and its numerical expressions.
 
Let's embark on this numerical journey and discover the beauty of counting in Kazakh!


Counting and numbers are fundamental in any language, and Kazakh is no exception. In this lesson, we will learn how to count from 0 to 100 in Kazakh, and also how to use numbers in different contexts.
== Kazakh Number System ==


== Basic numbers ==
=== Counting from 0 to 10 ===


Let's start with the basic numbers from 0 to 10:
Let's start by learning the numbers from 0 to 10 in Kazakh. These foundational numbers will serve as building blocks for the rest of the numerical system.

Notice that the pronunciation of the letters "ө" and "ұ" is quite unique to Kazakh and may require some practice.  
Now that we have familiarized ourselves with the basic numbers, let's move on to the next set of numbers.


== From 11 to 20 ==
=== Counting from 11 to 20 ===


From 11 to 19, we can form the numbers by adding the postfix "-он" to the corresponding digits:
In Kazakh, the numbers from 11 to 19 follow a unique pattern. They are formed by combining the word for "ten" (он) with the corresponding digit from 1 to 9.

|-
| он тоқсан || on toqsan || nineteen
| он тоғыз || on toğız || nineteen
|-
| жиырма || jıırma || twenty
|}
|}


For 20, we add the postfix "-ымза" to "екі" (two):
Note that the number 20 is a standalone word in Kazakh, unlike the numbers from 11 to 19.

=== Counting from 30 to 100 ===

| жиырма || jıyrma || twenty
|}


== Decades ==
In Kazakh, the numbers from 30 to 100 follow a regular pattern. They are formed by combining the tens digit (from 3 to 9) with the word for "ten" (он).
 
To form the words for the decades, we add "-ы" to the corresponding digit, followed by the word for ten without the postfix "-н":

|}


For example, "елу екі" (fifty two).  
Congratulations! Now you can count from 0 to 100 in Kazakh. But our numerical journey doesn't end here. Let's explore how to use numbers in various contexts.


== Hundreds ==
== Using Numbers in Context ==


To form numbers in the hundreds, we first state the number of hundreds, followed by "жүз" (hundred), and then the number of tens and units:
Now that you have learned the Kazakh number system, let's see how we can use numbers in different contexts.


{| class="wikitable"
=== Talking about Age ===
! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
When discussing age in Kazakh, we use the word "жас" (jas) to mean "years old." To express someone's age, simply state the number followed by "жас."
| бір жүз || bir jüz || one hundred
 
|-
For example:
| екі жүз || eki jüz || two hundred
* Мен он сегіз жасымын. (Men on segiz jasymyn.) - I am eighteen years old.
|-
* Алты жасындағы бала. (Alty jasındağı bala.) - A six-year-old child.
| үш жүз || üsh jüz || three hundred
 
|-
=== Telling the Time ===
| төрт жүз || tört jüz || four hundred
 
|-
Telling the time in Kazakh follows a simple pattern. To express the hour, use the number followed by "сағат" (sağat), which means "o'clock."
| бес жүз || bes jüz || five hundred
 
|-
For example:
| алты жүз || alty jüz || six hundred
* Сағат екі. (Sağat eki.) - Two o'clock.
|-
* Сағат алты. (Sağat alty.) - Six o'clock.
| жеті жүз || jeti jüz || seven hundred
 
|-
To express minutes, use the number followed by "минут" (minut).
| сегіз жүз || segiz jüz || eight hundred
 
|-
For example:
| тоқсан жүз || toqsan jüz || nine hundred
* Сағат екі минут. (Sağat eki minut.) - Two minutes past [the hour].
|}
* Сағат он минут. (Sağat on minut.) - Ten minutes past [the hour].
 
=== Counting Objects and Quantities ===
 
When counting objects or expressing quantities in Kazakh, use the cardinal numbers (e.g., бір, екі, үш).
 
For example:
* Менде екі қалам бар. (Mende eki qalam bar.) - I have two pens.
* Сенде төрт қарлық су бар ма? (Sende tört qarlıq su bar ma?) - Do you have four bottles of water?
 
=== Dates and Years ===
 
To express dates in Kazakh, use the cardinal numbers followed by the word "ай" (ay) for "month" and "жыл" (jıl) for "year."
 
For example:
* Мен қырк тамызда туғанмын. (Men qırk tamyzda tuğanmyn.) - I was born on the fortieth of July.
* Қазақстан Республикасы қайда жасалған? (Qazaqstan Respýblıkası qayda jasalğan?) - When was the Republic of Kazakhstan established?
 
== Cultural Insights ==
 
The Kazakh number system reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Kazakh people. Numerical expressions often carry symbolic meanings and cultural significance.
 
For example, the number 7 (жеті) is considered a lucky number in Kazakh culture. It is believed to bring good fortune and protection from evil spirits. This belief is deeply rooted in the ancient Turkic traditions and shamanistic practices of the Kazakh nomadic tribes.
 
Similarly, the number 40 (қырк) holds special significance in Kazakh culture. It is associated with maturity and wisdom, as well as the completion of a full cycle. In traditional Kazakh culture, reaching the age of 40 is often celebrated as a milestone.
 
These cultural insights add depth and meaning to the numerical expressions in Kazakh, highlighting the interconnectedness of language and culture.
 
== Practice Exercises ==
 
Now it's time to put your newly acquired knowledge into practice! Complete the following exercises to reinforce your understanding of Kazakh numbers and counting.

Count the following objects in Kazakh:


== Other uses of numbers ==
1. Five apples
2. Ten books
3. Two cups
4. Three pens
5. Seven chairs


In addition to counting, numbers are also used in various contexts, such as telling time, expressing dates, or giving prices. Here are some examples:
Solution:
1. Five apples - бес алма
2. Ten books - он кітап
3. Two cups - екі қап
4. Three pens - үш қалам
5. Seven chairs - жеті орын


* To tell time, we use a combination of the words for the hours (in digits) and minutes (in words). For example, "сағат бірде" (one o'clock), "сағат он бестен бир басқа не?" (what time is it?).
== Conclusion ==
* To express dates, we use the ordinal numbers (first, second, third, etc.) followed by the name of the month. For example, "бірінші наурыз" (March 1st), "үшінші тамыз" (July 3rd).
* When giving prices, we use the word "тұн" (tenge) followed by the digits for the whole part and "ақша" (cents) followed by the digits for the fractional part. For example, "бес мың тұн алты қазына тілі" (5,600 tenge for a treasure map).


It is important to note that the plural forms in Kazakh can vary depending on the numeral, the noun, and the situation. This topic will be addressed in later lessons in this course.  
Congratulations on completing this comprehensive lesson on Kazakh numbers and counting! You have learned how to count from 0 to 100 and use numbers in various contexts, such as expressing age, telling the time, counting objects, and discussing dates.


That's it for now. Practice counting and using numbers in different contexts to improve your Kazakh skills.

Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will dive into the fascinating world of numbers and counting in the Kazakh language. Numbers play a crucial role in everyday communication, whether it's telling the time, talking about quantities, or expressing dates and ages. By mastering the Kazakh numbers, you will be able to navigate various contexts and engage in meaningful conversations with native speakers.

Using Numbers in Context[edit | edit source]

Now that you have learned the Kazakh number system, let's see how we can use numbers in different contexts.

Talking about Age[edit | edit source]

When discussing age in Kazakh, we use the word "жас" (jas) to mean "years old." To express someone's age, simply state the number followed by "жас."

For example:

  • Мен он сегіз жасымын. (Men on segiz jasymyn.) - I am eighteen years old.
  • Алты жасындағы бала. (Alty jasındağı bala.) - A six-year-old child.

Telling the Time[edit | edit source]

Telling the time in Kazakh follows a simple pattern. To express the hour, use the number followed by "сағат" (sağat), which means "o'clock."

For example:

  • Сағат екі. (Sağat eki.) - Two o'clock.
  • Сағат алты. (Sağat alty.) - Six o'clock.

To express minutes, use the number followed by "минут" (minut).

For example:

  • Сағат екі минут. (Sağat eki minut.) - Two minutes past [the hour].
  • Сағат он минут. (Sağat on minut.) - Ten minutes past [the hour].

Counting Objects and Quantities[edit | edit source]

When counting objects or expressing quantities in Kazakh, use the cardinal numbers (e.g., бір, екі, үш).

For example:

  • Менде екі қалам бар. (Mende eki qalam bar.) - I have two pens.
  • Сенде төрт қарлық су бар ма? (Sende tört qarlıq su bar ma?) - Do you have four bottles of water?

Dates and Years[edit | edit source]

To express dates in Kazakh, use the cardinal numbers followed by the word "ай" (ay) for "month" and "жыл" (jıl) for "year."

For example:

  • Мен қырк тамызда туғанмын. (Men qırk tamyzda tuğanmyn.) - I was born on the fortieth of July.
  • Қазақстан Республикасы қайда жасалған? (Qazaqstan Respýblıkası qayda jasalğan?) - When was the Republic of Kazakhstan established?

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

The Kazakh number system reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Kazakh people. Numerical expressions often carry symbolic meanings and cultural significance.

For example, the number 7 (жеті) is considered a lucky number in Kazakh culture. It is believed to bring good fortune and protection from evil spirits. This belief is deeply rooted in the ancient Turkic traditions and shamanistic practices of the Kazakh nomadic tribes.

Similarly, the number 40 (қырк) holds special significance in Kazakh culture. It is associated with maturity and wisdom, as well as the completion of a full cycle. In traditional Kazakh culture, reaching the age of 40 is often celebrated as a milestone.
