Kan @ailerons.bsky.social · 23mIf you mean for the vowel harmony part, it's rather a split on back and front vowel (is your tongue at the front or the back of your mouth when you say the vowel? one single word, in kazakh, must generally keep the tongue at the back or front and not switch) a, u, ı, o are back ä, ü, i, ö, e front 100
Kan @ailerons.bsky.social · 45mthere's also lar, dar and tar, figuring out whether it's an a or an e is easier, it's about vowel harmony (not sure if you know about that concept. it's very central to kazakh) ler/lar are used if the last letter of a word is r, y, w or a vowel ; der/dar for z, j, l, m, n, ñ ; ter/tar the rest 110

Kan @ailerons.bsky.social · 9hKazakh has suffixes, one of which is optional but the other not. And they can be combined to layer it Adam[nıñ] is[i] ; human's work (nıñ is optional) Adam[nıñ] is[i][niñ] bilim[i] ; human's work's knowledge 110
