Hello Kazakh language learners,


In today's lesson, we will explain how to use nouns.

Example of use

Nouns as a part of speech answer the following questions:

  • Кім? (Марио) = Who? (Mario)
  • Не? (Алма) = What? (An apple)
  • Кімдер? (Қыздар) = Who? (plural form) (Girls)
  • Нелер? (Кітаптар) = What? (plural form) (Books)

No articles

In Kazakh language we do not use articles like a, an, the.

For example:

  • An apple = Aлма
  • A student = Cтудент
  • the Moon = Aй

лар, лер, дар, дер ,тар, тер

To form plural nouns in Kazakh language, just add to your word: лар, лер, дар, дер ,тар, тер.

For example:

  • Apple - apples = Алма - алмаЛАР
  • student - students = студент - студентТЕР


Suffixes of plural form depend on the last syllable and letter of the word.
If the last syllable is thin/thick, the suffix will be thin/thick too.
If the last letter is vowel, the suffix must begin with Л.
If the last letter is type 1/type 2/type 3, the suffix must begin with Л/Д/Т.
