Welcome to this exciting lesson on modal adverbs in the Kazakh language! As you embark on your journey to learn Kazakh, understanding modal adverbs will enrich your ability to express various attitudes and opinions. Modal adverbs are essential in conveying notions of certainty, doubt, possibility, and necessity, making them a crucial component of effective communication.

In this lesson, we will explore the following:

What are Modal Adverbs?[edit | edit source]

Modal adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs to express the speaker's attitude toward the action or state described. In Kazakh, modal adverbs play a significant role in indicating how certain or uncertain a statement is. They can be used to express:

Certainty: Indicating that something is unequivocally true.

Doubt: Suggesting that something may not be true or is questionable.

Possibility: Indicating that something may happen.

Necessity: Expressing that something must happen.

Understanding how to use these adverbs will help you express yourself more clearly and effectively.

Common Modal Adverbs in Kazakh[edit | edit source]

Let's take a look at some common modal adverbs in Kazakh, along with their pronunciations and English translations.

мүмкін	mümkïn	possible
міндетті	mindéttı	must

Usage of Modal Adverbs[edit | edit source]

Now that we have a list of common modal adverbs, let’s delve into how to use them in sentences. Here are some examples illustrating different contexts of usage.

1. Expressing Certainty[edit | edit source]

When you want to express certainty, you can use modal adverbs like "анық" (certainly) or "сөзсіз" (undoubtedly).

Example sentences:

Kazakh	Pronunciation	English
Ол анық дұрыс айтты.	Ol aŋɪq dūrıs aıt'tı.	He certainly spoke correctly.
Сөзсіз, бұл кітап өте қызықты.	Sözsɪz, būl kɪtāp üte qızıq'tı.	Undoubtedly, this book is very interesting.

2. Indicating Doubt[edit | edit source]

For conveying doubt, words like "бәлкім" (perhaps) and "мүмкін" (possible) are helpful.

Example sentences:

Kazakh	Pronunciation	English
Бәлкім, ол келмейді.	Bæl'kɪm, ol kel'meɪ'dі.	Perhaps, he is not coming.
Бұл мүмкін емес.	Būl mümkin emes.	This is not possible.

3. Expressing Possibility[edit | edit source]

To indicate possibility, you can use "мүмкін" or "мүмкіндігі бар".

Example sentences:

Kazakh	Pronunciation	English
Ол мүмкін келер.	Ol mümkin ke'ler.	He may come.
Оның мүмкіндігі бар.	Oŋnıŋ mümkindɪɡɪ bar.	There is a possibility for him.

4. Indicating Necessity[edit | edit source]

When you need to express necessity, use "міндетті".

Example sentences:

Kazakh	Pronunciation	English
Бұл міндетті.	Būl mindéttı.	This is a must.
Оқу міндетті.	Oqū mindéttı.	Studying is necessary.

5. Expressing Confirmation[edit | edit source]

Using "әрине" (of course) can confirm a statement.

Example sentences:

Әрине, мен келемін.	Ær'ɪne, men ke'lemіn.	Of course, I will come.
Әрине, бұл жақсы идея.	Ær'ɪne, būl jaqsy īdeya.	Of course, this is a good idea.

-Modal adverbs can also be used to give advice or suggestion as in the sentence "Қайтып келгендей жасауыңыз керек" (Qaytyp kelgendey zhasauyngyz kerek), which means "You should do it as if you were coming back," where the modal adverb "керек" (kerek) shows obligation or necessity.
