In this lesson, we will explore the topic of money and payments in the Kazakh language. Understanding the vocabulary and expressions related to money is essential for everyday life, whether you are shopping, traveling, or simply managing your finances. We will learn about the Kazakh currency, coins, and banknotes, as well as how to make payments, ask for change, and even bargain. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid foundation in the vocabulary and phrases necessary for handling financial transactions in Kazakh-speaking regions.

Kazakh Currency

Let's begin by familiarizing ourselves with the Kazakh currency. The official currency of Kazakhstan is the Kazakhstani tenge, which is denoted by the symbol "₸". The tenge is subdivided into 100 tiyn. It's important to note that while the tenge is widely accepted throughout Kazakhstan, some areas near the borders may also accept other currencies such as the Russian ruble or the US dollar.

Here are some common denominations of Kazakhstani tenge banknotes:

Kazakh	Pronunciation	English Translation
100 ₸	bir yüz tenge	one hundred tenge
500 ₸	besh yüz tenge	five hundred tenge
1,000 ₸	bir ming tenge	one thousand tenge
5,000 ₸	besh ming tenge	five thousand tenge
10,000 ₸	on ming tenge	ten thousand tenge
20,000 ₸	yirmi ming tenge	twenty thousand tenge
50,000 ₸	ellu ming tenge	fifty thousand tenge

It's worth noting that the design of Kazakhstani banknotes features various Kazakh historical figures, landmarks, and cultural motifs. These banknotes are not only a medium of exchange but also a reflection of the rich cultural heritage of Kazakhstan.

Coins

In addition to banknotes, Kazakhstan also has a range of coins that are commonly used for everyday transactions. Here are some of the most frequently encountered coins in Kazakhstan:

Kazakh	Pronunciation	English Translation
1 tiyn	bir tiyn	one tiyn
2 tiyn	ikki tiyn	two tiyn
5 tiyn	besh tiyn	five tiyn
10 tenge	on tenge	ten tenge
20 tenge	yirmi tenge	twenty tenge
50 tenge	ellu tenge	fifty tenge

While the tiyn coins are still in circulation, they are not commonly used due to their low value. The tenge coins, on the other hand, are widely accepted and used for small transactions.

Making Payments

Now that we are familiar with the Kazakh currency, let's learn how to make payments in Kazakh. Here are some useful phrases and expressions:

1. How much does it cost? - Qancha turady? 2. I would like to buy this. - Men shunu satyn alamyn. 3. Can I pay with a credit card? - Kredit kartasy menen tolem alamynba? 4. Do you accept cash? - Nakten tolem alasyzba? 5. Can I have a receipt, please? - Resept alasyzba? 6. Keep the change. - Qalay sakkiz tengege berin. 7. I would like to return this. - Men shunu qaytarmek isteymin. 8. Can I get a refund? - Qaytaru alamynba? 9. Is there a discount? - Syrmyzdyngy barma? 10. What are the payment options? - Tolesu zhatyrlary qanday?

These phrases will come in handy when you are shopping, dining out, or engaging in any other transaction requiring payment. Practice using them in different scenarios to become more comfortable with the language.

Asking for Change

In some situations, you may need to ask for change after making a payment. Here are some phrases you can use:

1. Can I get change for this? - Shu uishin sakkiz tenge alamynba? 2. Do you have change? - Sakkiz tenge barma? 3. I need smaller denominations, please. - Kishi tengegine berin.

Remember to be polite when asking for change, as manners and courtesy are highly valued in Kazakh culture.

Bargaining

Bargaining is a common practice in markets and bazaars in Kazakhstan. While it may not be as prevalent in modern retail stores, it can still be seen in certain situations. Here are some useful phrases for bargaining:

1. What is the best price? - En arzhan qancha? 2. Can you give me a discount? - Syrmyzdyngy beresizbe? 3. I can't afford this. - Men shunyn uishin baspa almyn. 4. Is there a lower price? - Arzhandygy kishi barma? 5. Let's meet in the middle. - Ortaqa kelip turamyz. 6. Can you throw in something extra? - Qosymsha shtyk alasyzbe?

Bargaining can be a fun and interactive way to shop, but make sure to respect the seller and the cultural norms of the market.

Cultural Insights

In Kazakh culture, money is seen as a means to sustain and provide for one's family. It is often associated with hard work and prosperity. Kazakhs place great importance on hospitality and generosity, and it is customary to offer guests food and drinks without expecting any payment in return.

Kazakh weddings are known for their elaborate ceremonies and customs. During the wedding celebration, it is common for guests to give money as a gift to the newlyweds. The amount of money given is often determined by the closeness of the relationship with the couple.

In recent years, Kazakhstan has seen a rise in cashless payments, with many people opting for mobile payment apps and online banking. However, cash is still widely used, especially in rural areas and smaller towns.

Exercises

Role-play a conversation between a customer and a seller, where the customer asks for change after making a payment. 3. Create a dialogue between two people bargaining over the price of a souvenir.
