  • Adjective + -лық / -лік / -дық / -дік / -тық / -тік

Erros comuns

When a nominalized verb follows a possessive pronoun, it MUST take the corresponding possessive suffix.

Wrong: Менің оқу маңызды.
Correto: Менің оқуым маңызды. (My studying is important.)

Not all verbs use -lyq to become nouns; specific roots have dedicated suffixes like -im or -is.

Wrong: Ол білулік алды.
Correto: Ол білім алды. (He received knowledge/education.)

In genitive constructions (X-тың Y-ы), the nominalized adjective needs a possessive ending, not an accusative case.

Wrong: Жақсы адамдардың жақсылықты.
Correto: Жақсы адамдардың жақсылығы. (The goodness of good people.)

Next Steps

You've just unlocked the door to academic Kazakh! This is a major step toward sounding like a native professional. Керемет! (Wonderful!)

Read a Kazakh news article and underline all nouns ending in -лық, -іс, or -ым.

Write three sentences about your 'independence' (тәуелсіздік) using the new suffixes.
