Review Summary

  • [Demonstrative] + Noun
  • Near -> Mid -> Far
  • Stem Change + Case Suffix

常见错误

When used as an adjective, the demonstrative does not take the plural suffix; only the noun does.

Wrong: Бұлар кітаптар
正确: Бұл кітаптар

The demonstrative 'Бұл' changes its stem to 'Мұн-' before adding case suffixes.

Wrong: Бұлмен
正确: Мұнымен

Kazakh is very strict about the physical distance between the speaker and the object.

Wrong: Using 'Бұл' for something far away.
正确: Using 'Ана' or 'Ол' for far objects.

Next Steps

You've just unlocked a huge part of daily Kazakh! Being able to specify exactly what you mean makes you much more confident in shops and streets. Керемет (Excellent)!
