Welcome to our lesson on the Instrumental Case in Kazakh! This is an important grammatical aspect that allows you to express how actions are performed or the means by which something is done. Understanding the instrumental case will enable you to communicate more effectively and add depth to your conversations in Kazakh.

What is the Instrumental Case?[edit | edit source]

The instrumental case is used to indicate the means, methods, or tools by which an action is accomplished. In English, we often use prepositions like "with" or "by" to convey similar meanings.

+{| class="wikitable"
-== Forming the Instrumental Case ==
+! Kazakh !! Pronunciation !! English
-The instrumental case suffix is "-мен/-менің" for the singular and "-бен/-бенің" for the plural. To form the instrumental case, simply add the appropriate suffix to the end of the noun. For example:
-* жазба (book) → жазбамен (with a book)
-* ой (moon) → ойбенің (with the moon)
-Note that there are some irregularities in the formation of the instrumental case, especially for nouns that end in vowels. Please refer to a comprehensive Kazakh grammar book for more details.
+|-
-== Using the Instrumental Case ==
+| кітаппен || kitappen || with the book
-The instrumental case is used to denote means, methods, and tools, as well as to describe circumstances and conditions. Here are some examples:
-=== Means/Tools ===
+|-
-* Сіз гашықтық пікірлеріңізді моқ емес, жоқшылдық пікірлерімен айтуыңыз керек. (You need to express yourself not with abstract ideas, but with critical opinions.)

-== Exceptions and Special Cases ==
+|-
-There are a few exceptional uses of the instrumental case worth noting:
-=== Adverbial Function ===
+| столмен || stolmen || with the table
-Sometimes, the instrumental case can be used in an adverbial function when it modifies a verb. For example:
-* Осылайша парақшаларды оқиға туралы білімді бөлісуде пайдаланамыз. (We use newspapers like this to share knowledge about events.)
-* Оған нақты санақ мәзірін пайдаланады. (He uses an exact date for his argument.)
-=== With Postpositions ===
+|-
-The instrumental case is also used with some postpositions, which are similar to prepositions in English. The most common postpositions used with the instrumental case are:
-* менен (with)
+| үймен || uimen || with the house
-* бірге (together with)
-* ғана/қана (only with)
-Here are some example sentences:
+|-

-* Сізге бірге келеміз келетін болғандарды таңдаңыз. (Choose the ones you want to come with you.)
-* Қанша танылған жарамсыз жұртқа….ол жеке материалдармен ұсынылады. (How much do you know about the unreliable person...he only provides private material.)
-== Conclusion ==
+| адаммен || adammen || with the person
-In conclusion, the instrumental case is a crucial part of Kazakh language and is frequently used in daily conversation. By learning the instrumental case, you will be able to communicate more effectively and express yourself in a more precise and nuanced way.
