Review Summary
- [Number] + [Noun (singular)]
- Number + -(ы/і)ншы/нші
- Сағат + [Number] + [Suffix]
Errores comunes
In Kazakh, nouns following a number must remain in the singular form. The number already implies plurality.
Vowel harmony error. 'Üsh' (3) has a soft vowel, so it requires the soft suffix '-inshi' rather than the hard '-ynshy'.
'Qansha sagat?' asks 'How many hours (duration)?', while 'Sagat qansha?' asks 'What time is it (position)?'.
