Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Kazakh
I speak one language [singular form] Мен бір тілде сөйлеймін
we speak three languages [plural noun] біз үш тілде сөйлейміз
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] ол көптеген елдерге барады
they are happy now [plural pronoun] қазір олар бақытты
she has five red shoes [adjective + plural noun] оның бес қызыл аяқкиімі бар
I want a sandwich without onions [preposition + plural noun] мен жуасы жоқ сэндвич жегім келеді

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Kazakh by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.
