Erros comuns

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

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

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

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

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

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