Review Summary

  • [Number] + [Noun (singular)]
  • Number + -(ы/і)ншы/нші
  • Сағат + [Number] + [Suffix]

أخطاء شائعة

In Kazakh, nouns following a number must remain in the singular form. The number already implies plurality.

Wrong: Бес кітаптар
صحيح: Бес кітап

Vowel harmony error. 'Üsh' (3) has a soft vowel, so it requires the soft suffix '-inshi' rather than the hard '-ynshy'.

Wrong: Үшыншы
صحيح: Үшінші

'Qansha sagat?' asks 'How many hours (duration)?', while 'Sagat qansha?' asks 'What time is it (position)?'.

Wrong: Қанша сағат?
صحيح: Сағат қанша?
