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
rules
- 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.
