Review Summary
- Сәлеметсіз + бе?
- Сәлем
- Сау + бол (+ ыңыз)
- Рақмет / Оқасы жоқ
常见错误
Using the informal 'Сәлем' with a teacher or elder is considered rude. Always use the formal version.
The letter 'қ' is a deep back-k sound. Many learners use a soft 'х' or 'к', which changes the crispness of the word.
Leaving a formal meeting with 'Сау бол' is too abrupt. The '-ыңыз' ending is the 'polite' coat of armor for your words.
