Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Objective writing removes the 'I' to focus on facts, using passive voice and impersonal verb forms to sound professional and authoritative.

  • Avoid first-person pronouns like 'men' (I) or 'biz' (we). Example: 'Zhumys atqaryldy' (The work was done).
  • Use passive voice suffixes like '-yl/-il' or '-yn/-in'. Example: 'Mäsele talqylandy' (The issue was discussed).
  • Focus on the action, not the actor. Example: 'Qarjy bölinui kerek' (Funds must be allocated).
Action + Passive Suffix (-yl/-il) + Verb

Meanings

Objective writing is a stylistic choice used in formal, academic, or professional Kazakh to prioritize information over personal opinion.

1

Passive Voice

Focusing on the object of the action.

“Esep tapsyryldy.”

“Qoldanba ornatyldy.”

2

Impersonal Construction

Using third-person singular or plural to generalize.

“Bylay isteu kerek.”

“Osynday sheshim qabyldandy.”

3

Nominalization

Turning verbs into nouns to create distance.

“Qarjy bölu mäselesi.”

“Zhumysty ayaqtau merzimi.”
