よくある間違い

Do not repeat the subject and verb if they are the same in both parts of the 'and' list. It sounds redundant.

Wrong: Мен алма және мен алмұрт жеймін.
正解: Мен алма және алмұрт жеймін.

While 'Because...' can start a sentence in English, in Kazakh, 'өйткені' almost always follows the main action it is explaining.

Wrong: Өйткені мен шаршадым, мен ұйықтаймын.
正解: Мен ұйықтаймын, өйткені шаршадым.

In Kazakh, sentence connectors like 'сосын' usually require a slight comma-like pause or a new sentence to avoid a 'run-on' feel.

Wrong: Мен бардым сосын көрдім.
正解: Мен бардым, сосын көрдім.
