Review Summary
- [Adjective] + [Noun]
- [Adjective] + [Noun + Plural Suffix]
常见错误
Learners often put the adjective after the noun like in some Romance languages. In Kazakh, for description, it must come before.
Do not add the plural suffix '-лер/-лар' to the adjective. Only the noun gets the plural ending.
When a noun is in a specific case (like Accusative), the adjective does not take that case ending. Only the noun does.
