Introduction to Kazakhstan

GEOGRAPHY

Flag of Kazakkhstan

Kazakhstan is located in Central Asia, west of China and south of Russia at latitude 48 north and 68 east. A small part of Kazakhstan, located near the Ural River, is in Eastern Europe. Kazakhstan is comprised of fourteen main areas, or regional administrative districts. Almaty (the former capital) and Astana (the new capital) both have equal status as administrative districts. Kazakhstan has 14 provinces (called oblasy): Almaty Oblysy, Aqmola Oblysy (Astana), Aqtobe Oblysy, Atyrau Oblysy, Batys Qazaqstan Oblysy (Oral), Mangghystau Oblysy (Aqtau), Ongtustik Qazaqstan Oblysy (Shymkent), Pavlodar Oblysy, Qaraghandy Oblysy, Qostanay Oblysy, Qyzylorda Oblysy, Shyghys Qazaqstan Oblysy (Oskemen), Soltustik Qazaqstan Oblysy (Petropavlovsk), and Zhambyl Oblysy (Taraz). The total area of Kazakhstan covers approximately 2,717,300 square kilometers, which is about 4 times the size of Texas. The land stretches from the Volga in the west to the Altai Mountains in the east, and from the plains in Siberia to the deserts in Central Asia. The highest peak in Kazakhstan is Khan Tangiri Shyngy (Pik Khan-Tengri), located in eastern Kazakhstan near China and Kyrgyzstan. It has a height of 6,995 meters. Kazakhstans terrain is diverse. Almost half of the total area is steppes and semi-desert, which dominate in central and western Kazakhstan. Eastern and Southern Kazakhstan are mountainous. Northern Kazakhstan has a variety of forests and steppes. Although Kazakhstan has three geographic time zones, it is a landlocked country. Eight percent of the land in Kazakhstan is arable and agriculturally cultivated, primarily in northern Kazakhstan and to a lesser extent in southern Kazakhstan. Natural hazards include earthquakes in the south and mudslides in the Almaty area. In addition, Kazakhstan had a nuclear test site in the Semey area during the Soviet Union; almost five hundred nuclear explosions were conducted. As a result, most of the population in the Semey region has health issues. Kazakhstans Aral Sea is another environmental disaster. As a result of Soviet mismanagement, the two main rivers flowing into the Aral Sea had been diverted for irrigation. The Aral Sea dried up to 1/3 of its original size, leaving behind a harmful layer of environmentally unfriendly natural salts and pesticides. The Government of Kazakhstan, with the technical assistance of the World Bank, has restored the Northern Aral Sea to its original size.

CLIMATE

Winter in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan Weather Agency

Kazakhstans climate is characterized as continental: extremely cold in winter, hot in the summer, and warm in both spring and fall. Spring lasts from March to the middle of May. Temperatures range from 64 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit with very low humidity because Kazakhstan is a dry and landlocked country. Summer starts in June and ends in midSeptember. The weather becomes hot and dry, with temperatures ranging from 80 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. In autumn, clear, sunny days predominate; temperatures range from 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Winter lasts from December to March. December and January are the coldest months of the year. Temperatures can drop from 40 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit with occasional winds. It does not rain much in Kazakhstan. Winters are severe in northern Kazakhstan, especially when there are strong winds. Summers are very hot in southern Kazakhstan; the temperature can reach as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit, effectively halting all business activities for about a week or two in July. POPULATION

Bazaar in southern Kazakhstan Kazakhstan is one of the most scarcely populated countries in the world. Although it is the ninth largest country in geographic size, Kazakhstans population is a mere 15.5 million with a population density of five people per square mile. Most of the population resides near Kazakhstans borders and in large cities such as Almaty, Shymkent and Astana. Almaty, a city of 1.5 million, has ten percent of Kazakhstans population; Shymkent (800,000) and Astana (700,000) together also constitute ten percent of Kazakhstans population. Ethnic Kazakhs compose sixty percent of Kazakhstans population. Ethnic Russians make up twenty five percent. The rest include over 100 diverse ethnic groups, such as Koreans, Ukrainians, Tatars, Uzbeks, and Germans. All ethnic groups live in relative harmony. Life expectancy is sixty years for males and sixty nine for females. About ninety nine percent of the population is literate. All children are required to attend public and private schools between the ages of six and seventeen. Almost fifty percent of the adult population has college degrees. HISTORY

Karakhan (Famous Kazakh Warrior) Mausoleum in Taraz, Kazakhstan 12th century

Ahmet Yassawi (poet and Sufi mystic) Mausoleum in Turkestan, Kazakhstan 14th century Humans have inhabited what is known today as Kazakhstan since the Stone Age. They led a primarily nomadic way of life, which best suits the regions climate and terrain. Most historians believe that humans first domesticated the horse in the territory of modern Kazakhstan. From the fourth century to the beginning of the seventh century, part of southern Kazakhstan was ruled by the Persian Empire. After the Arab invasion of Persia, various nomadic, proto-Turkic kingdoms ruled the area. In the thirteenth century, following the Mongol invasion, the area was incorporated into the Mongol Empire and eventually became the territories of the Kazakh Khanate in 1475. This was the genesis of Kazakh as a distinct political entity. Its major cities included Taraz and Turkestan, built along the northern route of the Great Silk Road. By the sixteenth century, Kazakhs developed a common language, culture, and economy. In the early 1600s, the Kazakh Khanate was divided into Great, Middle and Junior Hordes; confederations based on extended family networks. Competition between hordes and internal divisions greatly weakened the Kazakh khanate. In the nineteenth century, the Russian Empire began to encroach on Central Asia as part of the Great Game between the British and Russian empires for influence in Central Asia. Within almost two hundred years, Russia incorporated Kazakhstan and other Central Asian states into its empire. During this period, Russia enforced the Russian language in all schools and governmental organizations. In addition, there was a great influx of ethnic Russians into what is now Kazakhstan, thereby making Russians the largest minority group in Kazakhstan outside of Russia and Ukraine. Although there was a brief period of autonomy following the collapse of the Russian Empire, the Kazakhs eventually lost their autonomy to Soviet rule. In 1920, the area of what is now Kazakhstan became an autonomous republic within Russia and a Soviet republic in 1936. During Soviet rule, Kazakhstan experienced repression of its traditional way of life; over 2 million ethnic Kazakhs died in the 1930s during the period of forced collectivization.

After World War II, Kazakhstan underwent massive industrialization as well as mineral extraction development. In 1953, Soviet authorities instituted a Virgin Lands program with an aim to transform the traditional pasturelands of Kazakhstan into a major agricultural region of the Soviet Union. This policy led to the development of the agricultural sector, which to this day employs over thirty percent of Kazakhstans population. During Gorbachevs perestroika (economic reforms) and glasnost (political reforms) in 1986, Kazakh students led an uprising in protest against the appointment of an ethnic Russian communist leader to Kazakhstan, in violation of the Soviet constitution. The protest was violent, with numerous deaths and subsequent imprisonment of protestors. This protest led to more nationalistic policies in Kazakhstan, such as the institution of Kazakh as the state language and the promotion of ethnic Kazakhs to key government positions. On December 16, 1991, Kazakhstan was the last Soviet republic to declare its independence following the Soviet Unions collapse. The years following independence have been marked by significant reforms, particularly the transformation of the command economy into a market economy. Kazakhstan was the first former Soviet republic to be recognized as a market economy both by the US and the EU. Politically, Kazakhstan has been ruled by one leader, Nursultan Nazarbaev, who initially came to power in 1989 as the head of the Kazakh Communist Party and was eventually elected president in 1991. Nazarbaev extended his term in 1995 until 2000. In 1999, he won the election by 82 percent and extended his term from 5 to 7 years. In the 2005 presidential elections, Nazarbaev won 91 percent of the vote and currently is in his last term as president. Economically, Kazakhstan enjoyed significant growth since 2000, partly due to its large oil, gas and mineral resources and partly because of sound macroeconomic policies. Living standards have improved dramatically; GDP per capita rose from $400 in 1994 to $6000 in 2006. However, the political system has not improved. Most of the independent media and opposition is harrassed, and international election observers have noted that neither parliamentary nor presidential elections have been free and fair thus far.

RELIGION

With respect to religion, Kazakhstan is often considered part of the Muslim world, although it is debatable. Kazakhstan can hardly be called a Muslim country; it is neither Asian nor European. Kazakhstan is at a crossroads between Europe and Asia. This factor influences religion. Kazakhstan has never been affected by strong religious forces and sentiments. Religious organizations are passive and do not claim a political role in the state. In contrast to its neighbors, religious groups in Kazakhstan do not attempt to exercise their influence on political and social events. Religion has changed dramatically since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. There is growth in religious freedom that would have been impossible under the Soviet regime. Most Kazakhs are Sunni Muslims, though Islam in Kazakhstan is very different than in many Islamic countries. Kazakh synthesized Islamic practices with many pre-Islamic traditions such as belief in ancestor spirits and nature. In addition, most Kazakhs are very secular and are nominally Muslim, only observing a select number of Islamic holidays. However, since independence, the number of believers has increased and the number of mosques has grown. The second largest religion is Russian orthodoxy, primarily because of the large ethnic Russian population (twenty five percent of the total population). In addition, there are over forty five religious confessions in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan is famous for its religious tolerance and has hosted two International Religious Dialogue conferences in Astana in 2001 and 2006.

CULTURE & CUSTOMS

Inside a Kazakh Yurt

Traditional Kazakh Yurt Kazakhs lived in yurts, dome-shaped moveable tents made of camels wool. The word kazakh means independent, wanderer, or free. This is another testimony that Kazakhs were nomads long before they became a unified ethnic group. Family and marriage are among important customs and traditions in Kazakh society. The family was the basis of nomad society.

The elderly members of extended families were tribal leaders. Marriages were arranged in order to promote tribal bonds. Tribal leaders roles included dispute adjudication, leading marriages and funeral ceremonies, and presiding over other important events. In the words of a Kazakh proverb, matchmaking lasts a thousand years, while a son-inlaw lasts one hundred years. This illustrates the significance of marriage in fostering relationships between the tribes. However, in current times, arranged marriage is a very rare phenomenon. As in the West, most couples marry according to their personal choice. According to an old tradition, men kidnap their brides in order to marry; it is important to note that though some Kazakhs follow the tradition, the kidnapping is now always voluntary. There have been some incidents where women were kidnapped without their consent. In these cases, women have a right to legal action. In some rare cases, traditional families, especially wealthy ones, arrange marriages; this almost always occurs with the consent of their children. The horse is an important part of Kazakh culture. Historically, Kazakhs have been excellent horsemen. Nomadic lifestyles required mastery of horsemanship. In the past, many Kazakh children learned to ride horses even before walking. Most Kazakh festivals revolve around horses in one way or another, including games such as races and horseback polo. Horse meat is a delicacy in Kazakh cuisine. Fermented mares milk (koumyss) is a national Kazakh drink. Funerals According to Kazakh tradition, relatives are central figures in weddings and funerals. During funerals, Kazakhs bury the dead according to Islamic traditions with zhanaza (death prayer) and serve meals for visitors before burial. Only males go to bury the dead. Three important gatherings are held in order to honor the memory of the dead; the first occurs after a week, the second occurs after forty days, and the last occurs after a year. During these get-togethers, relatives of the deceased provide meals and imams read verses from the Quran in the name of the dead.

CUISINE

Kazakhstans food variety is modest, reflecting its location and geographic conditions. Primarily land-based and associated primarily with livestock grazing, most Kazakh cuisine incorporates meat from lamb, horse, beef and camel. Besparmak (five fingers) is the most traditional Kazakh food. It is made of dough and horse sausages. In addition, palaw (pilaf) is a traditional dish with meat and rice that is also popular in other parts of Central Asia. Guests and respected members of society are honored with the sheeps head. Kazakhstans multiethnic composition renders other ethnic cuisine popular. Russian pelmenis (dumplings) and bliny (pancakes), Korean spicy salads and the noodles of Uyghurs, and Dungans are prevalent as well.

FAMOUS KAZAKHS

Abay Kunanbay Abay Kunanbay was born in 1845. Today Abay is considered the founding father of Kazakh literature. Abay studied in the madrasa (Islamic school), where he learned Farsi and Arabic. In addition, Abay learned Russian language and literature. Abay was the first Kazakh writer to translate major literary works of the great Russian writers such as Dostayevski and Pushkin into Kazakh. Abay was also a great philoshopher. His major work, Abays Edifying Words, is considered a great masterpiece in the Kazakh literature. He is also famous for a large number of poems related to the social, political and economic problems of the Kazakh society in the 19th century.

Abylay Khan Abylay Khan is considered one of the greatest leaders in Kazakh history. He was born in 1711. At that time the Kazakh khanate was weakened by divisions among Kazakh tribes. Abylay was a major figure, who unified Kazakhs into a single nation and deterred external aggression by Zhungars to the east of the Kazakh khanate. Abylay Khans grandson, Kenesary, was a freedom fighter against Russian colonization in the 18th century. The name of Abylay Khan is associated with Kazakh independence.

Nursultan Nazarbaev Nursultan Nazarbaev was born in 1940 into a poor rural family in the small town of Shamalgan in the Almaty region. After finishing high school in his village, Nursultan attended metallurgical college in Dneprodzherzhinsk in Ukraine.

11

Upon completion of his studies, Nazarbaev returned to Kazakhstan where he worked in the metallurgical plant in Temirtau, northern Kazakhstan. He graduated from Karaganda University with a degree in metallurgy. Nursultan Nazarbaev advanced in communist party rankings and became second in command in the early 1980s. After the 1986 protests in response to the appointment of an ethnic Russian communist chairman, Nazarbaev was appointed the leader of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. When Kazakhstan became independent, Nazarbaev won the presidential elections, becoming the first president of independent Kazakhstan. Since then, Nazarbaev extended his term in 1995 till 2000 and held elections in 1999 till 2006, where he won with 82% of the popular vote. In the 2005 elections, Nazarbaev won 91% of the presidential vote; the next elections will be in 2012. According to the Western election observers, the presidential elections were not free and fair. However, this presidential term is the last for Nursultan Nazarbaev according to the Kazakh constitution. For Nazarbaev supporters, he is the founding father of Kazakhstan as an independent nation. From a backward Soviet province, Nazarbaev was able to create a strong state and a thriving economy that is unrivalled in Central Asia. In addition, Nazarbaev is given credit for his sound domestic inter-ethnic policies, as evidenced in an absence of ethnic tensions. Nazarbaevs critics argue that he has consolidated power at the expense of democracy, independent media, the opposition, human rights and rule of law. Nazarbaevs place in Kazakh history remains to be determined depending on which direction Kazakhstan takes after Nazarbaevs departure from the political scene.

THE LANGUAGE The Kazakh language belongs to the Turkic language group, which includes Turkish, Azeri, Uzbek, Tatar, Kyrgyz, and many others. Together with the Mongolian and Manchu Tungus languages, they form a distinctive language group known as the Altaic languages. The Turkic languages are divided into Southern, Western, Eastern and Northern subgroups. Turkish, Turkmen and Azeri belong to the southern subgroup. Uzbek and Uighur constititute major languages of the eastern subgroup. The western subgroup comprises Tatar, Bashkir, Kumuk and Karachay languages. The northern subgroup includings Yakut, Altay, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Karakalpak and Nogay languages. The Kazakh Alphabet and Approximate Rules of Pronunciation The Kazakh alphabet contains 42 letters. Until 1929, the Kazakh language used the Arabic script. From 1929 to 1940, Kazakhs used a Latin-based alphabet. In 1940, Kazakhs, along with other Turkic groups under the Soviet rule, were required to adopt the Cyrillic script, which is still in use in Kazakhstan today. For the presentation of sounds that do not exist in Russian, there are additional letter signs unique to the Kazakh language. Those special letters will be introduced later in this chapter.

This lesson will introduce you to: - Simple greetings and basic introductions in Kazakh - How to greet people in formal and informal situations in Kazakhstan - Personal pronouns - Possessive pronouns - How to use the verbs to be and to live in the present tense - Basic geographical names of Kazakhstan.

PEOPLE
1. Listen to these simple greetings and phrases in Kazakh and repeat them after the speaker. Hello. Hi How are you? Slemetsiz be? Amansz ba? Qalaysz? ? ? ?

Grammar note: Kazakhs use the same greetings at all times of the day. Slemetsiz be? and Amansz ba? literally mean Are you well? Unlike in English, Kazakhs use a series of greetings when greeting each other. It is common to say Slemetsiz be? Amansz ba? Qalaysz? and even more, while the person you are greeting does the same. 2. Exchange greetings with your teacher and your partner. 3. Familiarize yourself with personal pronouns. Listen to the audio and repeat after the speaker.

I am from Aqtbe You are from Aqtbe He/She is from Aqtbe We are from Aqtbe You are from Aqtbe They are from Aqtbe

Men Aqtbe likpin. Siz Aqtbe liksiz. Ol Aqtbe lik. Biz Aqtbe likpiz. Sizder Aqtbe liksiz. Olar Aqtbe lik.

Grammar note: The suffix + lik, which means approximately native of... will change according to the vowels and final consonant of the word it is attached to. Without getting into too much detail, after vowels it will be + lik or + lq; after the letters j, l, m, n, y, and z, it will be + dik or + dq; and after the letters k, kh, p, q, s, sh, and t, it will be + tik or + tq. You will see these in the examples below.

6. Listen to the following sentences and repeat after the speaker. 1. I am Kazakh. I am from Kazakhstan. 2. He is Kazakh. He is from Kazakhstan. Men qazaqpn. Men qazaqstandqpn. Ol qazaq. Ol qazaqstandq. . . . .

7. Pretend you and your classmates are from Kazakhstan. Introduce yourself and your classmates to your friend in Kazakh. Use the model below and the map. MODEL: . Men qazaqpn. . Shmkenttikpin. . Erkin qazaq. . Ol tarazdq. . Baqt pen Ghalya qazaq. .. Olar almatlq. Note: To ask where? questions, the basic question word to use is Qayda, which literally means, at where? Above we have used the form Qayjerlik because we were referring to peoples place of origin. The answer to a question containing the word Qayda, will have a place name with the suffix +da/de (or +ta/te), which indicates at, on, or in. Where are you from? Where is he, she or it from? Where are they from? Qayzherliksiz? Ol qayzherlik? Olar qayzherlik? ? ? ?

8. Listen to the following dialogues in Kazakh. Repeat after the speaker. Follow along in your workbook. 1. A. I am from Almaty. Where are you from? B. I am from Semey. 2. A. Aygul is from Almaty.

B. . A. . ? B. .

9. Role-play the dialogues above using the map of the Kazakhstan. Grammar note: In Kazakh, as in many other languages, there is no is or are as in English. It is perfectly OK to say, House big, instead of The house is big. All the necessary information is contained in the words themselves; for example, saying Shmkenttikpin, though it is just one word, contains the information Shimkent-from-I, thus equating to I am from Shimkent. Am I from? Men ...likpin be? ... ? Are you from? Siz liksiz be? ... ? Is he/she from? Ol ...lik pe? ... ? Are we from? Biz ...likpiz be? ... ? Are they from? Olar ...lik pe? ... ? Yes, I am. Iye. .

No, we are not. Zhoq, emespiz. , . No, they are not. Zhoq, emes. , .

Grammar note: Questions are formed by adding the particle ma/me/ba/be/pa/pe (depending on the final letter of the previous word) 10. Read the following dialogues and role-play them with a partner. 1. A. Are you from Kazakhstan? B. Yes, I am. 2. A. Are you from Almaty? B. No, I am not. I am from Qizilorda Siz qazaqstandqsz ba? Iye, qazaqstandqpn. Siz almatlqsz ba? Zhoq, emespin.

Possessives in Kazakh are different from English. In English we simply put the word my or her before the word, whereas in Kazakh, possession is expressed primarily through the suffixes listed below. The possessive pronouns (meaning, etc.) are only necessary for contrast or emphasis. For example, the word at means his/her name by itself; you only usually need to say, onng at if you are making a distinction between two people. The same is true for all other pronouns. The pronoun biz is an exception: you may drop the possessive suffix (imiz) and simply say something like bizding y instead of the full form, bizding yimiz. I You He/She/It We You (pl) They men siz ol biz sizder olar My Your His Our Your Their mening ...im sizding ...ingiz onng ...i bizding ...imiz sizderding ...ingiz olardng ...i ... ... ... ... ... ...

20

What is her name? Onng at kim? ? Her name is Aygul. Onng at Aygl. .

What is his name? Onng at kim? ? His name is Qasen. Onng at Qasen. .

11. Listen to the following dialogue and repeat after the speaker. A. Hello! B. Hello! A. My name is Polat. What is your name? B. My name is Suleymen. A. Nice to meet you. B. Nice to meet you, too. Slemetsiz be? Slemetsiz be? Mening atm Polat. Sizding atngz kim? Mening atm Sleymen. Siz ben tansqanma te quwanshtmn.* Men de siz ben tansqanma te quwanshtmn. ? ? . ? . . .

Grammar note: *This is very formal. The normal series of greetings (Amansz ba? etc.) is sufficiently polite when meeting someone for the first time.

21

12. Work in pairs or in small groups. Look at the pictures above and make up appropriate dialogues using greetings. Grammar note: The Kazakh verb for to live is tur-. The following chart shows how to use it with each pronoun. Note that you normally dont need to use the pronoun, since the end of the verb shows who the subject is. I live You live He/She/It lives We live You (pl) live They live Do they live in Almaty? Yes, they do. (literally: Yes, in Almaty) Turamn. Turasz. (Ol) turad. Turamz. Turaszdar. (Olar) turad. Olar Almatda tura ma? Iye, Almatda. . . () . . . () . ? , .

To form a question, one adds ma/me or its variants (ba/be or pa/pe): To answer yes or no questions, often it is enough to repeat just the essence of the question.

13. Listen to the following statements and repeat after the speaker. My name is Qayrat. Mening atm Qayrat. . I live in Astana. Astanada turamn. . We live in Shymkent. Shmkentte turamz. . His name is Erkin. Onng at Erkin. . He lives in Almaty. Almatda turad. . They live in Qizilorda. Olar Qizilordada turad. . Her name is Aygul. Onng at Aygl. She lives in Semey. Semeyde turad. .

14. Read the following sentences. Translate them into English. Check your work in the Answer Key. 1. Erkin Almatda turad. 2. Siz Almatda turasz ba? Iye, Almatda. 3. Olga Almatda turmayd. 4. Siz qayda* turasz? Shmkentte turamn. 5. Ghalya men Qayrat qayda turad? Olar Tarazda turad. 1. . 2. ? , . 3. . 4. * ? . 5. ? .

Lesson 2 Living and Working Turms pen Zhums

This lesson will introduce you to: - Typical housing arrangements of most people living in Kazakhstan - Using or in questions about living arrangements and professions - The verb to have in the present tense - Names of professions (singular and plural forms). While Kazakhstan has a lower standard of living than the average in the U.S., it is improving and is second only to Russia among the former Soviet republics. People in cities tend to live in apartments, while residences in villages and smaller towns consist mostly of one-story houses with a small courtyard or garden. Traditional Kazakh housing, common until the WWII era, was the yurt, or kiyiz y:

1. Look at the pictures below and listen to the words. Repeat the words after the speaker.

apartment pter

apartment building pter y

room blme

house y

military camp skeri lager

tent shatr

barracks kazarma

hotel meymankhana

Cultural note: since Russian is so prevalent in Kazakhstan, it is sometimes more common to hear Kazakhs use words that are technically Russian. For example, kvartira instead of pter, dom instead of pter y.

28

2. Match the Kazakh words on the left with their English equivalents on the right. Replay the audio from the previous section if necessary. Shatr Blme y Pter Meymankhana Pter y Kazarma skeriy lager Hotel Tent Barracks Room Military camp House Apartment Apartment building

3. Read the following sentences and translate them into English. Check your work with the Answer Key. 1. . Polat skeriy lagerde shatrda turad. 2. . Aygl kishkene pterde turad. 3. . Baqt pen Ghalya Almatda lken yde turad. 4. . Erkin meymankhanada turad. 5. . Nurzhan men Murat kazarmada turad. 6. . Qasen men Tilewzhan bizding yde turad.

4. Listen to the following dialogues and repeat after the speaker. Follow along in your workbook. Then, break into pairs or small groups and make up similar dialogues. 1. A. I live in a big house. Where do you live? lken yde turamn. Siz qayda turasz? . ? B. I live in a tent in a military camp. skeriy lagerde turamn. .

29

2. A. Polat lives in the hotel. Where does Aynur live? Polat meymankhanada turad. Aynur qayda turad? . ? 3. A. We live in the barracks. Where do Polat and Aynur live? Biz kazarmada turamz. Polat pen Aynur qayda turad? . ? Grammar note:

B. Aynur lives in an apartment building. Aynur pter yde turad. . B. They live in the military camp. Olar skeriy lagerde turad. .

The most basic way to ask a question using the idea of or in Kazakh is to juxtapose both of the subjects being asked about. For example, to say, Do you live in the barracks or in the military camp? one says simply, Kazarmada turasz ba, skeriy lagerde me? No word for or is necessary. 5. Read the following dialogues and translate them into English. Check your translations with the Answer Key. Make up similar dialogues. Work in pairs or in small groups. 1. A. , ? B. . 2. A. , ? B. . yde turasz ba, pterde me? yde turamn. Olar meymankhanada tura ma, pter yde me? Olar pter yde turad.

6. Compose questions using the model and the words below. Check your work with the Answer Key. MODEL: Do you live in a tent or in the barracks? , ? Shatrda turasz ba, kazarmada ma? Siz Olar Sizder Ol Biz / / / / / Shatr/kazarma Meymankhana/y Pter y/skeriy lager Blme/y Pter/meymankhana

Check your work with the Answer Key. 1. barracks 2. barracks 3. barracks 4. barracks apartment building apartment building apartment building apartment building tent tent tent tent house house house house military camp military camp military camp military camp room room room room hotel hotel hotel hotel apartment apartment apartment apartment

30

Grammar note: Kazakh does not express the idea of to have like we do in English, using a verb. Instead of saying, I have a house the equivalent sentence in Kazakh reads, My house exists, or yim bar. The word bar means exists or there is. I have a house. You have a house. He/she has a house. We have a house. You (plural) have a house. They have a house. yim bar. yingiz bar. yi bar. yimiz bar. (Sizderding) yingiz bar. (Olardng) yi bar. . . . . () . () .

8. Listen to the following sentences and repeat after the speaker. Follow along in your workbook. 1 I have a house in Almaty. 2 We have a room in an apartment building. 3. Baqt has an apartment in Aqtbe. 4. Polat and Ghalya have their house in Shymkent. Almatda yim bar. Pter yde blmemiz bar. Aqtbede Baqttng pteri bar. Polat pen Ghalyanng yi Shmkentte. . . . .

9. Make up sentences using the correct form of the verb to have. / mening / sizding / onng / sizderding / bizding / olardng .../ y .../ pter .../ blme . bar.

10. Listen to the new vocabulary related to professions and repeat after the speaker. Profession Doctor Nurse Laborer Teacher Student Soldier Mechanic Mamandq Driger/vrach Medbike Zhumssh Oqtuwsh Oquwsh/student Zhaunger Mekhanik / /

Soldier 8. Mechanic 9. Farmer 10. Police Officer 11. Waitress 12. Interpreter Grammar note: To make plurals in Kazakh, add the suffix +lar/+ler and its variants +dar/+der/+tar/+ter, depending on the final vowel and consonant of the word, just like the suffix +lik in Lesson 1. The basic rule is: the suffix will be +lar/+ler after vowels and the consonants y and r; +dar/+der after the consonants zh, z, l, m, n and ng; and +tar/+ter after the other consonants. Remember that the suffix will be +lar/+dar/+tar if the word ends with the vowels a, , o, and u, and it will be +ler/+der/+ter if the word ends with e, i, , . Unlike English, however, Kazakh does not usually require a plural in the second half of a sentence. For example, the Kazakh translation of they are students is simply olar student. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. Dayash yel Diyqan Awdaruwsh Mamandq Medbike Politsioner Driger Zhumssh Student Soldat Mekhanik Oqtuwsh

13. Listen to the plural form of nouns related to the names of professions, and repeat after the speaker. Profession mamandq Doctor driger Nurse medbiyke Laborer jumssh Teacher - professions mamandqtar - doctors drigerler - nurses medbiykeler - laborers jumsshlar - teachers

oqtuwshlar - students studentter - soldiers zhawngerler - mechanics mekhanikter - farmers diyqandar - police officers politsionerler - waitresses dayash yelder - interpreters awdaruwshlar

14. Listen to the speaker and put a circle around each word you hear. Replay the audio as many times as you need. Check your answers with the Answer Key. A. He is a mechanic / farmer. B. They are teachers / doctors. C. She is an interpreter / student. D. They are police officers / soldiers.

Grammar note: Kazakh does not have different ways of asking about ages, as in English, and it tends to be less of a sensitive issue than in America. The word for year is not used when talking about age; instead, the word for age, zhas, is used. The literal translation of I am 11 years old would be I am at age 11 On bir jastamn. When saying that someone will be a certain age, the verb for enter kir- is used. To say he will be 11, one says he will enter to age 11, or On bir zhasqa kiredi.

Lesson 4 Daily Activities Kndelik zhums

This lesson will introduce you to: - How to ask for and tell time - Typical daily activities in Kazakhstan - The verbs to go, to study, to play, to work, to watch, to read, to eat, and to get up - The past tense of the verbs. Grammar note: To ask the time, use either Saghat qansha, or Saghat neshe, both literally mean how much/many? Kazakhs tell time by saying that it has become a certain hour. For example, to say, it is one oclock, the Kazakh equivalent is, it has become one hour. Saghat bir bold. If there is a need to distinguish between A.M. and P.M., one can use the words for morning tangerteng, afternoon tsten keyin, or at night tnde. Military time is not used in normal conversation. When giving times before or after the hour, Kazakhs use the word for past tti, and qald remained. Times past the half hour are generally expressed as being so many minutes remaining until the next hour, thus, 8:45 would be expressed as the equivalent of 15 minutes to nine. The word for half, zharm, is used much more often than the word for thirty when indicating the half hour. When talking about an action that takes place after or before the hour, Kazakhs use the past participle forms of tti and qald: saghat zhetiden on bes minut tkende = at seven fifteen (literally: when 15 minutes have passed from hour seven); saghat segizge on bes minut qalghanda = at seven forty-five (literally: when 15 minutes remained to hour seven).

51

B. - It is two oclock in the afternoon. . Tsten keyin saghat eki bold. 8:00 am, 7:15 am, 10:30 am, 2:10 pm, 4:45 pm, 6:50 pm, 12:00, 11:05 Grammar note: Present/future tense verbs in Kazakh are conjugated in the chart below. Each verb consists of a verb root, to which suffixes are added to indicate the tense and the person. The roots of the verbs in the chart are (in order) bar- go, oq- read, study, iste- work, qara- watch, look, zheeat, kr- to see, oyna- play, and tur- stand, get up. To form the present/future tense, one adds the suffixes emin/-amn, -esiz/-asz, etc. to the stem, unless the stem ends in a vowel (here: oq-, zhe-, qara-, and oyna-), in which case the consonant y is inserted, making the endings ymin/-ymn, -ysiz/-ysz, etc. This tense is used to express everyday as well as future actions. To make a verb negative, the suffix me/-ma is inserted between the stem and the personal suffixes. Examples are given below. As we saw previously, the pronouns are not necessary to make a complete sentence, since all the information is contained in the verb, with the exception of verbs for they, where either the pronoun is used or it is understood from the context of the sentence. I go you go he goes we go you go they go I work* you work he works we work baramn barasz barad baramz baraszdar (olar) barad isteymin isteysiz isteydi isteymiz () I read/study you read/study he reads/studies we read/study you read/study they read/study I watch you watch he watches we watch oqiymn oqiysz oqiyd oqiymz oqiyszdar (olar) oqiyd qaraymn qaraysz qarayd qaraymz ()

* Kazakhs use the word for see kr-, for watching television. Grammar note: To say at, in, or on in Kazakh, simply add the suffix +da/+de/+ta/+te (depending on the final vowel and consonant of the object): Almat + da = Almatda in Almaty zheti + de = zhetide at seven mektep + te = mektepte at school Baghdat + ta = Baghdatta in Baghdad televizor + da = televizorda on t.v. To indicate to or for in Kazakh, use the suffix +ge/+gha/+ke/+qa (depending on the final vowel and consonant of the object): Almat + gha = Almatgha to Almaty Semey + ge = Semeyge to Semey mektep + ke = mektepke to school Baghdat + qa = Baghdatqa to Baghdad

Grammar note: To say with in Kazakh, insert the particle men/ben/pen (depending on the final consonant) between the words. The phrase go to lunch is not used in Kazakh; instead, they use the equivalent of to eat food at noon or eat the noon meal. The Russian word is also commonly used for lunch. The verb in this sentence could also have the form for we (zheymiz) since the action is done together. 10. Tell your partner about your daily schedule.

Lesson 5 Meeting the Family Zhanuya menen Tansuw

This lesson will introduce you to: - The kinship terms used for immediate and extended family - How to ask and answer simple questions about family members - The pronouns who, this, that, these, and those. Kazakh families are patriarchal and several generations may live together, with children traditionally taking care of their parents, grandparents, and perhaps other relatives. While Kazakh families can be large, the average household has 3.4 people. Families in cities tend to be smaller, whereas in villages, they are larger with more extended relatives living under the same roof. Terms for Kazakh relatives are rather more complex than in English, as they distinguish between older and younger as well as relatives from the mother or fathers side.

1. Look at these photos of families. Listen to the kinship terms and repeat after the speaker.

* Singli is used by females to refer to a younger sister; qarindas is used by males to refer to their younger sisters. Grammar note: Here are the basic demonstrative pronouns in Kazakh, most of which you have learned already, since they are identical to the pronouns for he/they, etc. Who? This These That Those Kim? Bul/os Bular (but is not necessary before plural nouns, for example, bul adamdar = these people Ol Olar (but, like bul, is not necessary before plural nouns: ol adamdar = those people.)

Lesson 7 Shopping Bazarda

This lesson will introduce you to: - Customs and practices accepted in the Kazakhstan marketplaces - Names of foods and stores - How to make purchases in Kazakhstan shops - The verbs to want, to buy, to pay, and to take - The modal verb can. The economy of Kazakhstan has gone through some major changes in recent years following the breakup of the Soviet Union and the development of the oil industry in the Caspian Sea. While the average per capita GDP is still less than $2,000, the economy is growing rapidly. To describe an average income level would be misleading, since the populace consists of: rich tycoons who have taken advantage of the collapse of the old system (as well as new economic opportunities), and a large segment of the populace left economically impoverished by the disappearance of guaranteed employment, stable prices, and a generous pension system. The cost of living in larger cities is several times more than that in the countryside, though amenities and utilities are much scarcer in the latter.

The local currency in Kazakhstan is the tenge (). Note: A tenge is currently worth approximately 130 to the US dollar (2006), and is available in bills of 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000, and in coins of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100. The word tenge originally means coin.

94

1. Listen to the following vocabulary and repeat after the speaker.

Apple alma

Melon qawn

Onion piyaz

Potato kartop

Milk st

Butter sarmay

Egg zhumrtqa

Yoghurt ayran

Rice krish *

Bread nan

Sugar sheker

Ice Cream balmuzdaq/morozh enoe /

Lamb qoy eti

Chicken tawq

* - Note: the word krish refers only to uncooked rice, which is prepared as palaw (pilaf). One can say Palaw zhedim but not Krish zhedim.

95

2. Work in pairs or in small groups. Ask your partner what foods he/she has at home. Use the model below. MODEL: A. ? yingizde nemene bar? B. , , . Alma, piyaz, kartoptarm bar. 3. Familiarize yourself with the new vocabulary. Listen to the speaker and follow along in the workbook. Look at the pictures and try to guess the meaning of the underlined words.

- . Bul azq-tlik dkeni.

- . . Swle azq-tlik dkeninde isteydi. Ol kassir.

- . . Talghat azq-tlik dkeninde isteydi. Ol satuwsh.

- . . Aygl kiyim-keshek dkeninde isteydi. Ol satuwsh.

- . . Baqt kiyim-keshek dkeninde isteydi. Ol kassir.

96

Did you understand new words? - / azq-tlik dkeni means grocery store / kassir means cashier / satuwsh means salesperson - / kiyim-keshek dkeni means clothing store Cultural note: Consumer products were not sold in great variety during the Soviet era, and it is only recently that products have increased and familiar store types have opened. While larger cities have a small selection of department stores, grocery stores are fairly new and markets are probably the best place to find grocery items. Packaging of items, if any, can be quite different from what Americans are used to. For example, eggs are typically sold singly or in cartons of 30. Many such basic items can be found in small kiosks, but it is a good idea to shop around for prices and variety. Bargaining in markets is a good idea, but first find out what locals pay for items before you buy. Department stores are most likely referred to by name or by the old Soviet name, univermag. 4. Work in pairs or in small groups. Make up dialogues using the model below. MODEL: A. ? Talghat qayda isteydi? Where does Talghat work? B. - . Talghat azq-tlik dkeninde isteydi. Talghat works at the grocery store.

Note: Kazakh does not have a separate verb for to want like in English. The simplest way to express this idea is by adding the suffix maqsh/-mekshi/-paqsh/-pekshi to the verb, giving a meaning somewhat similar to wanting to... Here are some examples with verbs you know: bar + maqsh wants to go Talghat Almatgha barmaqsh. = Talghat wants to go to Almaty. zhe + mekshi wants to eat Siz ne zhemekshisiz? = What do you want to eat? The negative is not is formed by adding emes: Men zhemekshi emespin = I dont want to eat (any). Kazakhs may also use present tense verbs in places where the English word want would be used, for example: Barasz ba? = Do you (want to) go? Zheysiz be? = Do you (want to) eat? While technically the verb for to buy in Kazakh is satp al-, the verb al- (to get) will often suffice:

97

Televizor satp almaqshmn or Televizor almaqshmn both mean I want to buy a television. ... . Men ... satp almaqshmn. ... . Siz ... satp almaqshsz. ... . Ol ... satp almaqsh. ... . Biz ... satp almaqshmz. ... . Olar ... satp almaqsh.

5. Familiarize yourself with the new vocabulary. Listen to the speaker and follow along in the workbook. Look at the pictures and try to guess the meaning of the underlined words.

. . Aynur kitap satp almaqsh. Ol kitap dkeninde. Did you understand new words? /Kitap dkeni means bookstore /saghat means clock /bazarlq dkeni means gift store

. . Murat saghat satp almaqsh. Ol bazarlq dkeninde.

6. Match each Kazakh sentence in the left column with the English equivalent in the right column. Check your answers with the Answer Key. 1. . Sarmay men nan almaqshmn. 2. . Aynur kitap almaqsh. 3. . Murat qoy etin almaqsh. 4. . Talghat saghat satp almaqsh. A. Murat wants to buy lamb. B. They want to buy yoghurt. C. I want to buy bread and butter. D. My sister wants to buy clothes.

98

5. . Sawgha satp almaqshmz. 6. . Olar ayran almaqsh. 7. . Qarndasm kiyim almaqsh. Grammar note:

E. Talghat wants to buy a clock. F. Aynur wants to buy a book. G. We want to buy a gift.

While normally two nouns in relation to each other require a possessive suffix on the second noun, for example, kitap dkeni (book + store + its) or qoy eti (sheep + meat + its), when using nouns of quantity such as kilo of, liter of, bag of, bottle of, bowl of, etc., there is no need for the +i/+ suffix on the second noun. See the chart below for some examples. Bread, however, is not usually referred to in quantities of loaves, rather the loaf-type bread is simply called blke nan, or loaf bread, as opposed to flat Central Asian bread. A pound/kilo of melons A box of rice A bag of potatoes A bottle of water A liter of milk bir kilo qawn bir korobka krish bir qap kartop bir btilke suw bir litr st

7. Work with a partner or in small groups. Pretend that you are planning to have a surprise birthday party for one of your classmates. You need to buy some food and gifts. Make a shopping list and tell your partner in Kazakh what you want to buy. Grammar note: To ask the price of something, you can use the phase ... qansha turad? For example, Bir kilo qoy eti qansha turad? means How much is one kilo of lamb? Cultural note: In the bazaar, if you want to ask if theres nothing cheaper, say, Arzan zhoq pa? To ask if they wont sell it for a lower price, say for example, Bes zhz bolmay ma, which means how about 500? To accept the price, say Bolad. To refuse the price, say Bolmayd. Here the verb bol- means to be good or acceptable. When going through a market, it is best, like the locals, to look as uninterested as possible, and to both ask the price yourself and watch what the locals are paying, then go back to the least expensive seller. Just because they refuse to sell at a lower price, does not mean that is the lowest they will take, since you, as a foreigner, will be expected to both pay more and to give up haggling more quickly. You may find spices or fruit to be incredibly cheap, while meat or imported foods are relatively expensive. Prices will change throughout the season, with the beginning and end of a season fetching the highest prices.

99

8. Listen to the following dialogue and repeat after the speaker. A. Excuse me. I want to buy yoghurt. How much is it? -*, . ? Qarangz-sh*, ayran almaqshmn. Qansha turad? B. A bottle of yoghurt is 250 tenge. 250 . Bir btilke ayran 250 tenge. A. Thank you. x. Raxmet. B. You are welcome. . Saw bolngz. 9. Pretend you want to buy the items listed below. One of your classmates is a salesperson. Role-play an In the Shop dialogue using the dialogue above as a model. Work in pairs or in small groups. 1. 345 . Bir kilo qawn 345 tengge. 2. 815 . Bir kilo qoy eti 815 tengge. 3. 159 . Bir qap kartop 159 tengge. 4. 119 . Bir btilke suw 119 tengge. 5. 450 . Bir btilke st 450 tengge. 6. 265 . Bir blke nan 265 tengge. 7. 248 .

4. * ______________________ . Qarndasm ekewimiz ______________________ dkeninen kiyim alamz. 5. ______________________ -, * . ______________________ dkeninen kiyim-keshek, kitaptar zhne sawgha satp alamz. * Grammar note: in Kazakh, you buy things from a store, not at. The from suffix is +den/+dan, plus variations, like the suffix for at, +de/+da. To say from a ... store, you will say dkeninen. To say (someone) and I..., Kazakhs say the equivalent of (someone), we two ... where ekewimiz means we two or both of us. Kazakh use plurals very sparingly: often a single noun has a general, plural meaning. Kitap aldm could mean I got a book. or I got books.

11. Listen to the following sentences and circle the words you hear. Check your answers with the Answer Key. 1. - / . Kiyim-keshek dkeninen/kitap dkeninen kitap alamn. 2. /- .

Grammar note: To express the idea of can as in, possibility or opportunity, one uses the word mmkin (possible) after the gerund form (verb stem + uw) of the verb. See the examples for baruw (to go) below. Note that this expresses only one meaning of can. There are other forms for expressing ability (I can run fast.) and for asking permission (Can I go now?). I can go You can go He/she can go We can go You can go They can go baruwm mmkin baruwngz mmkin baruw mmkin baruwmz mmkin baruwngz mmkin baruw mmkin

Lesson 8 Eating Out Restoranda

This lesson will introduce you to: - Eating out in a restaurant in Kazakhstan - Various menu items - How to order menu items - Different table service items. In the larger cities, especially Almaty and Astana, one can find a variety of restaurants, ranging from those serving traditional Kazakh food to international cuisines. Traditional Kazakh food, while tasty, does not have a lot of variety and is mostly based on boiled mutton. The classic Kazakh dishes are palaw (pilaf), besbarmaq (boiled mutton and broth on a bed of wide noodles), qaz (horse sausage), and mant (large pot stickers).

Lesson 9 Holidays, Customs, and Cultural Traditions , , - Meyramdar, Dstrler, det-Ghurptar

This lesson will introduce you to: - How to read dates - How to use ordinal numbers - Names of the months - Holidays, customs, and cultural traditions of Kazakhstan. The national holidays in Kazakhstan are: January 1-2 New Year March 8 International Womens Day March 22 Nawrz Holiday May 1st Kazakhstan Unity Holiday May 9th Victory Day August 30th Constitution Day October 25th Republic Day December 16th Independence Day a

In addition to these official holidays, there are the two main Muslim feasts, Oraza Ayt, at the end of Ramadan, and Qurban Ayt (Eid al-Adha) 70 days later, where each household is expected to slaughter an animal for sacrifice. These holidays vary from year to year since they are celebrated according to the Islamic lunar calendar. The New Year holiday is celebrated much like Christmas in the West. Christmas is celebrated by Orthodox Christians in Kazakhstan on January 7th. Note: Ordinal numbers are straightforward in Kazakh: one simply adds the suffix +(i)nshi/+()nsh to the cardinal numbers.

Cultural note: Having guests over is considered a great honor in Kazakh society, and it is the duty of the host to make sure the guest is treated with the utmost respect and hospitality. As a guest, you will be seated at the place of honor (tr) or as high (zhoghar) as possible. The tr is the place opposite the door in a room. During meals, the host will make sure the guests have as much food as possible. Americans may find this a bit overwhelming, but should remember that the host is just doing his job. Food is considered, to some extent, sacred in Muslim societies, so one must be careful not to let food touch anything dirty or be handled casually, especially bread.

126

Food is also meant to be shared, and it is normally impolite to eat when others are not eating. Conversely, it is also impolite to do something else in the same room while others are eating. If invited over, it is proper to bring a gift for the hosts or their children; one should not go empty-handed. Birthdays are not as important in Kazakh society as they are in the US, though children may have birthday parties in the cities. Weddings (toy), funerals (zhanaza) and feast days (ayt) are cause for large gatherings with lots of food and drinking (though no drinking at funerals). Be prepared to sit down to a lot of meals and memorize some toasts, since you will inevitably be asked to make several. Refusing something offered, including liquor, is an insult to your host, so it is better to go through the motions (or accept something lighter) than just flatly refuse. Say rakhmet repeatedly as a sign that your host is being a good host.

This lesson will introduce you to: - Basic vocabulary related to the home - Rooms around the house - Furniture items you may see. Most housing in Kazakhstan is either in one story houses with a small courtyard (typically in the countryside) or in apartment buildings. Kazakhs, like most countries in the world, do not maintain yards with grass; hence, the word we use here for yard refers more to a courtyard or fenced area, not a lawn. Most houses will not have basements or separate dining rooms, instead, the living room will often be used as the dining room when guests arrive. Furnishings are similar to American homes, though with fewer kitchen appliances. Stoves are normally gas and heating is from steam-heated radiators. Houses do not normally have an attached garage, though apartment buildings may have covered areas for parking.

1. Listen to the vocabulary below and repeat after the speaker.

Lesson 13 Transportation Transport

This lesson will introduce you to: - Verbs of motion - Ways of asking questions regarding the different modes of transportation - Different types of transportation available in Kazakhstan. The most commonly used means of transportation in Kazakhstan are buses, minibuses and trains. The most typical means of getting around within the cities in Kazakhstan are buses, minivans and trains. The use of private vehicles has been steadily increasing primarily as a result of growing middle-class and recent double-digit economic growth in Kazakhstan. Around 25% of the population now owns a private vehicle. Since Kazakhstan is a large landmass, equaling roughly the size of Western Europe, most people use trains to travel between cities and regions. Although there are airplanes throughout Kazakhstan, airfare is still extremely expensive and few can afford this means of transportation. Public transportation is relatively developed in comparison to the US, primarily due to the low percentage of population owning private vehicles. Most cities and towns have bus systems and large cities such as Almaty and Karaganda have trams. The first subway will be completed in Almaty by 2009.

Lesson 14 Travel Ca Sayakhat

This lesson will introduce you to: - Vocabulary related to travel - How to buy a train, bus, or airplane ticket - How to understand schedules - Border crossing and roadblock procedures.

In Kazakhstan, train and bus tickets are purchased at train and bus stations, either on site or in advance. People buy airplane tickets through travel agents. Also, usually in buses there are no tickets; passengers just pay money to the drivers. There are several types of seats on the trains in Kazakhstan. There is plaskart (second class) and kupe (first class).

185

1. Listen to the following dialogue about buying a ticket at a train station, and read along in the workbook. Soldier: Zhawnger Ticket Seller: Biylet satush Soldier: Zhawnger Ticket Seller: Bilet satush Soldier: Zhawnger Ticket Seller: Bilet satush Soldier: Zhawnger Ticket Seller: Bilet satush Soldier: Zhawnger Ticket Seller: Bilet satush. Excuse me, maam. Keshiringiz, apay. , . Can I help you? Kmek bere alamn ba? ? I need to buy a ticket to Taraz. Tarazgha bilet aluwm kerek. . Departing on what day? Qay knge? ? Today. Bginge. . One-way or roundtrip? Bir zhaqqa ma ghana ma, barp qaytuwgha ma? , ? Roundtrip. Barp qaytugha. . First class or second class? Plaskart pa, kupe me? , ? Second class, please. Plaskart bolad. . Returning on what day? Qay kni qaytasz? ?

186

Soldier: Zhawnger Ticket Seller: Bilet satwsh Soldier: Zhawnger Ticket Seller: Bilet satwsh Soldier: Zhawnger Ticket Seller: Bilet satwsh Soldier: Zhawnger Ticket Seller: Bilet satwsh Grammar note:

Friday Zhuma kni. . Morning, afternoon, or evening? Azanda ma, ts qayta ma, keshke me? , , ? Afternoon Ts qayta. . Twenty-two dollars, please. The next train leaves in one hour from platform number 5. Zhiyrma dollar bolad. . . Thank you. What is the train number? Poyezding nmeri qanday? ? 76 Zhetpis alt. . Is this an express train? Bul poyezd zhedel ma? ? Yes, it is an express train. I, zhedel poyezd. , .

Minw is a verb that is used for boarding any means of transportation including buses, trains and airplanes. When this verb is used, a direction suffix such as qa, -ke, -gha, or -ge is added to an object. For example: Avtobus-qa minw = to board a bus Ketw = to depart Kelw= to arrive Ketw = to leave Qaytp kelw = to return/to come back

187

In order to construct a must sentence in Kazakh, the verb has to be in the to do form, plus the word kerek that translates into must. For example, Ushaqqa minw kerek = One must board a plane. 2. Read the dialogue with a partner. Take turns being the Ticket Seller and Soldier. 3. Role-play the dialogue. You can substitute the name of a city where you need to buy a ticket to, the time and day of arriving and departing, and the price of the ticket. Grammar note: Present and future tense have the same grammatical structure in Kazakh. Future tense is different in context and adverbs such as tomorrow, next week or next month make future tense different than present tense. For example: Men erteng mektepke kelemin. = I will go to school tomorrow. Nurlan endigi apta kitap oqyd = Nurlan will read a book next week.

4. Listen to the following statements and read along in the workbook. Attention, passengers! The next express train to Almaty will depart from platform 10 in 15 minutes. Zholawshlar, tngdangzdar! Kelesi zhedel poyezd Almatgha 10-sh peronnan 15 minuttan keyin zhuredi. . Attention, passengers! The next local train will arrive at platform 10 in 5 minutes. Zholawshlar, tngdangzdar! Kelesi zhergilikti poyezd 5 minuttan keyin 10 perongha keledi. . . Attention, passengers! Flight number 92 from Astana will be one hour late. Please check the schedule for updates. Zholawshlar, tngdangzdar! 92 nmerli Astanadan keletin ushaq bir saghat kesh bolad. Kesteni zgerister shin tekseringizder. . . . Attention, passengers! The bus from Qaragandy will arrive at terminal 3 in 10 minutes. Zholawshlar, tngdangzdar! Qaraghanddan keletin avtobus 10 minuttan keyin 3 terminalgha keledi. . .

Lesson 18 Political and International Events Sayasiy zhne khalqaralq oqiyghalar

This lesson will introduce you to: - Vocabulary associated with politics and international issues - How they are reported in Kazakhstan news - How to read and understand political events written in Kazakh newspapers. Kazakhstan is a newly independent country in the international arena. Kazakhstan gained its independence as a result of the Soviet Unions collapse in 1991. Kazakhstans current political system can be characterized as super-presidential, where virtually all power resides in the executive branch of the government. The current president, Nursultan Nazarbaev, has been in power since 1989; he is the former Communist Party leader. Kazakhstan had two constitutions. The first constitution was adopted in 1993 and the second took effect in 1995, with amendments increasing the executives powers vis--vis other branches of government. According to the 1995 constitution, the president is elected for up to two seven-year terms. Parliamentary elections take place once every four years for the upper chamber, the Senate, and once every five years for the lower chamber, the Mazhilis. So far, none of the Kazakhstans presidential and parliamentary elections have been free and fair according to OSCE elections observers. There are numerous political parties in Kazakhstan. However most of them have merged with the Otan (Fatherland) pro-presidential party. There are two opposition parties. They are the Ak-Zhol (True Path) and the Democratic Party of Kazakhstan. There are no radical political parties. Kazakhstan is a multi-ethnic country with over 130 ethnic groups. Sixty percent of the population is ethnic Kazakh and twenty five percent of the population is ethnic Russian. In addition, there are Koreans, Uzbeks, Ukrainians, Tatars, Germans and many other minorities. Religious and ethnic freedoms are tolerated in Kazakhstan.

Cultural note: Most of the Kazakh military terms are borrowed directly from the Russian language since Kazakhstan has been under Russian rule during the development of modern warfare and establishment of the independent Kazakhstans Army. Even ranks are directly borrowed from Russian, word for word. Even today, Russian language dominates military affairs; however its role is being diminished as time goes by. There are more ethnic Kazakh officers than before.

Lesson 20 In the Hospital , Gospiytal, Awruwkhana

This lesson will introduce you to: - Vocabulary related to medical emergencies and life-saving measures - Terminology related to internal organs - Ways to ask questions about vital signs.

Since Kazakhstan is a newly independent state, healthcare, like anything else, is also undergoing transformation. Therefore the entire health system is changing rapidly. During the Soviet Union medical care was free of charge for everyone. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and Kazakhstans independence, Kazakhstans healthcare can be characterized as a hybrid. In principle, all basic medical expenses including emergency room are free of charge for everyone. For other treatments one needs to have a medical insurance. However, the insurance industry is still in an embryonic stage of development as the financial sector is still maturing. Since 2005 however, the state vowed to make all healthcare free of charge for everyone. Despite these statements, there is rampant corruption in healthcare and in order to get quality healthcare, people bribe doctors in state hospitals even though by law medicine and medical care are free of charge. There are new private hospitals that are expensive and one needs to have medical insurance or pay without insurance. Medical insurance is not as expensive as in the US, because healthcare costs and medicine are much cheaper, even when you compare the standards of living.

266

Grammar note: Important words that people should use when seeking medical emergency, accidents, or natural disasters are as follows: ! = Save! = Qutqarngdar! ! = Help! = Kmek beringder! ! = Help! = Zhrdem kerek! ! ! = Be careful! = Abay bol! Abayla! ! = Hide! = Tghl! ! = Run! = Qash! ! = Run! = Zhgir! ! = Get down! = Zhat! ! = Up! = Tur! = Inhale = Dem al = Exhale = Dem shghar In Lesson 17, you learned the names of human body parts, how to ask questions about a persons state of health, and how to describe health conditions and symptoms of sickness. You also know how to handle a visit to the doctors office. In this lesson, you will familiarize yourself with the vocabulary used for emergency or life threatening health conditions, such as heart attacks, gunshot wounds, severe bleeding, and head injuries.
