Review Summary

  • [Verb Stem] + -sa/-se + [Person], [Result in Future]

常见错误

In Kazakh, the 'if' clause must use the conditional mood (-sa/-se), not the indicative future tense.

Wrong: Eger jańbyr jaýady, úıde bolamyn.
正确: Eger jańbyr jausa, úıde bolamyn.

Hypothetical results require 'edi' to indicate they are not currently real.

Wrong: Eger baı bolsam, kóp saıahatty.
正确: Eger baı bolsam, kóp saıahat tarter edim.

'Áıtpese' (otherwise) connects a condition to a negative consequence, usually following an imperative.

Wrong: Áıtpese men keshiktim.
正确: Tez júr, áıtpese keshigesiz.

常见问题 (6)

No, never.
No, 'eger' is optional. The suffix -sa/-se is enough.
Yes, by adding 'edim' (e.g., 'barsam edim').
No, it is strictly for the past.
No, it is for hypothetical or future conditions.
Add -ma/-me before the suffix.
