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. Kazakhstan’s 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. Kazakhstan’s 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 Kazakhstan’s 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 mid-September. 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.

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, Kazakhstan’s population is a mere 15.5 million with a population density of five people per square mile. Most of the population resides near Kazakhstan’s borders and in large cities such as Almaty, Shymkent and Astana. Almaty, a city of 1.5 million, has ten percent of Kazakhstan’s population; Shymkent (800,000) and Astana (700,000) together also constitute ten percent of Kazakhstan’s population. Ethnic Kazakhs compose sixty percent of Kazakhstan’s 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

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 region’s 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 Kazakhstan’s population. During Gorbachev’s 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 Union’s 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

Orthodox Church in Almaty Central Mosque in Almaty 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 camel’s 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.

Page 9: 03 Kazakh Familiarization Course

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-in-law 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 mare’s 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

Kazakhstan’s 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 sheep’s head. Kazakhstan’s 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, “Abay’s 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 Khan’s 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.

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. Nazarbaev’s critics argue that he has consolidated power at the expense of democracy, independent media, the opposition, human rights and rule of law. Nazarbaev’s place in Kazakh history remains to be determined depending on which direction Kazakhstan takes after Nazarbaev’s 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 Sälemetsiz be?

Amansïz ba? Сəлеметсіз бе? Амансыз ба?

How are you? Qalaysïz? Қалайсыз? Grammar note: Kazakhs use the same greetings at all times of the day. Sälemetsiz be? and Amansïz ba? literally mean “Are you well?” Unlike in English, Kazakhs use a series of greetings when greeting each other. It is common to say Sälemetsiz be? Amansïz ba? Qalaysïz? 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 men мен you siz сіз he, she ol ол we biz біз you (plural) sizder сіздер they olar олар

GEOGRAPHY

I am from Aqtöbe… Men Aqtöbe likpin. Мен Ақтөбе лікпін You are from Aqtöbe … Siz Aqtöbe liksiz. Сіз Ақтөбе ліксіз He/She is from Aqtöbe … Ol Aqtöbe lik. Ол Ақтөбе лік We are from Aqtöbe … Biz Aqtöbe likpiz. Біз Ақтөбе лікпіз You are from Aqtöbe … Sizder Aqtöbe liksiz. Сіздер Ақтөбе ліксіз They are from Aqtöbe … Olar Aqtöbe lik. Олар Ақтөбе лік

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 + lïq; after the letters j, l, m, n, y, and z, it will be + dik or + dïq; and after the letters k, kh, p, q, s, sh, and t, it will be + tik or + tïq. You will see these in the examples below.

6. Listen to the following sentences and repeat after the speaker. 1. I am Kazakh. Men qazaqpïn. Мен қазақпын. I am from Kazakhstan. Men qazaqstandïqpïn. Мен қазақстандықпын. 2. He is Kazakh. Ol qazaq. Ол қазақ. He is from Kazakhstan. Ol qazaqstandïq. Ол қазақстандық.

Page 18: 03 Kazakh Familiarization Course

18

3. She is Kazakh. Ol qazaq. Ол қазақ. She is from Astana. Ol astanalïq. Ол астаналық. 4. We are Kazakh. Biz qazaqpïz. Біз қазақпыз. We are from Almaty. Biz almatïlïqpïz. Біз алматылықпыз. 5. You are Kazakh. Siz qazaqsïz. Сіз қазақсыз. You are from Shymkent. Siz shimkenttiksiz. Сіз шымкенттіксіз. 6. They are Kazakh. Olar qazaq. Олар қазақ. They are from Taraz. Olar tarazdïq. Олар тараздық.

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: Мен қазақпын. Men qazaqpïn. Шымкенттікпін. Shïmkenttikpin. Еркін қазақ. Erkin qazaq. Ол тараздық. Ol tarazdïq. Бақыт пен Ғаля қазақ. Baqït pen Ghalya qazaq. Олар алматылық.. Olar almatïlïq. 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 people’s 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? Qayzherliksiz? Сіз қайжерліксіз? Where is he, she or it from? Ol qayzherlik? Ол қайжерлік? Where are they from? Olar qayzherlik? Олар қайжерлік?

8. Listen to the following dialogues in Kazakh. Repeat after the speaker. Follow along in your workbook. 1. A. I am from Almaty. Men almatïlïqpïn. A. Мен алматылықпын. Where are you from? Siz qayzherliksiz? Сіз қайжерліксіз? B. I am from Semey. Semeylikpin. B. Семейлікпін. 2. A. Aygul is from Almaty. Aygül almatïlïq. A. Айгүл алматылық. Where is Erkin from? Erkin qayzherlik? Еркін қайжерлік? B. He is from Taraz. Ol tarazdïq. B. Ол тараздық. 3. A. I am from Shymkent. Shïmkenttikpin. A. Шымкеннттікпін. Where are you and Ghalia from? Ghalya menen siz qayzherliksiz?

қайжерлік? B. They are from Shymkent. Olar shïmkenttik. B. Олар шымкенттік.

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 “Shïmkenttikpin,” though it is just one word, contains the information “Shimkent-from-I,” thus equating to “I am from Shimkent.” Am I from…? Yes, I am. No, I am not. Men ...likpin be? Iye. Zhoq, emespin. Мен ...лікпін бе?

Ие. Жоқ, емеспін.

Are you from…? Yes, you are. No, you are not. Siz liksiz be? Iye. Zhoq, emessiz. Сіз ...ліксіз бе?

Ие. Жоқ, емессіз.

Is he/she from…? Yes, he/she is. No, he/she is not. Ol ...lik pe? Iye. Zhoq, emes. Ол ...лік пе?

Ие. Жоқ, емес.

Are we from…? Yes, we are. No, we are not. Biz ...likpiz be? Iye. Zhoq, emespiz. Біз ...лікпіз бе?

Ие. Жоқ, емеспіз.

Are they from…? Yes, they are. No, they are not. Olar ...lik pe? Iye. Zhoq, emes. Олар ...лік пе? Ие. Жоқ, емес.

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? Siz qazaqstandïqsïz ba? Сіз қазақстандықсыз ба? B. Yes, I am. Iye, qazaqstandïqpïn. Ие, қазақстандық

2. A. Are you from Almaty? Siz almatïlïqsïz ba? Сіз алматылықсыз ба? B. No, I am not. I am from Qizilorda Zhoq, emespin. Qïzïlordalïqpïn. Жоқ, емеспін.

Grammar note: 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 atï means “his/her name” by itself; you only usually need to say, “onïng atï” 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 üy” instead of the full form, “bizding üyimiz.” I men мен My mening ...im менің ...ім You siz сіз Your sizding ...ingiz сіздің ...іңіз He/She/It ol ол His onïng ...i оның ...і We biz біз Our bizding ...imiz біздің ...іміз You (pl) sizder сіздер Your sizderding ...ingiz сіздердің ...іңіз They olar олар Their olardïng ...i олардың ...і

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 don’t need to use the pronoun, since the end of the verb shows who the subject is.

I live Turamïn. Тұрамын. You live Turasïz. Тұрасыз. He/She/It lives

(Ol) turadï. (Ол) тұрады.

We live Turamïz. Тұрамыз. You (pl) live Turasïzdar. Тұрасыздар. They live (Olar) turadï. (Олар) тұрады.

Do they live in Almaty? Olar Almatïda tura ma? Олар Алматыда тұра ма? Yes, they do. (literally: Yes, in Almaty) Iye, Almatïda. Ие, Алматыда.

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 atïm Qayrat. Менің атым Қайрат.

His name is Erkin. Onïng atï Erkin. Оның аты Еркін.

Lesson 2 Living and Working Тұрмыс пен Жұмыс Turmïs pen Zhumïs

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 üy:

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

apartment

päter пəтер

apartment building

päter üy пəтер үй

room bölme бөлме

house

üy үй

military camp äskeri lager

əскери лагерь

tent shatïr шатыр

barracks kazarma казарма

hotel

meymankhana мейманхана

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 päter, dom instead of päter üy.

Page 29: 03 Kazakh Familiarization Course

29

2. Match the Kazakh words on the left with their English equivalents on the right. Replay the audio from the previous section if necessary. Шатыр Shatïr Hotel Бөлме Bölme Tent Үй Üy Barracks Пəтер Päter Room Мейманхана Meymankhana Military camp Пəтер үй Päter üy House Казарма Kazarma Apartment Əскери лагерь Äskeriy lager Apartment building 3. Read the following sentences and translate them into English. Check your work with the Answer Key.

1. Полат əскери лагерде шатырда тұрады. Polat äskeriy lagerde shatïrda turadï. 2. Айгүл кішкене пəтерде тұрады. Aygül kishkene päterde turadï. 3. Бақыт пен Ғаля Алматыда үлкен үйде тұрады. Baqït pen Ghalya Almatïda ülken üyde turadï. 4. Еркін мейманханада тұрады. Erkin meymankhanada turadï. 5. Нұржан мен Мұрат казармада тұрады. Nurzhan men Murat kazarmada turadï. 6. Қасен мен Тілеужан біздің үйде тұрады. Qasen men Tilewzhan bizding üyde turadï.

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? B. I live in a tent in a military camp. Ülken üyde turamïn. Siz qayda turasïz? Äskeriy lagerde turamïn. Үлкен үйде тұрамын. Сіз қайда тұрасыз? Əскери лагерде тұрамын.

Page 30: 03 Kazakh Familiarization Course

30

2. A. Polat lives in the hotel. Where does Aynur live? B. Aynur lives in an apartment building. Polat meymankhanada turadï. Aynur qayda turadï? Aynur päter üyde turadï. Полат мейманханада тұрады. Айнұр қайда тұрады?

Айнұр пəтер үйде тұрады.

3. A. We live in the barracks. Where do Polat and Aynur live? B. They live in the military camp. Biz kazarmada turamïz. Polat pen Aynur qayda turadï? Olar äskeriy lagerde turadï. Біз казармада тұрамыз. Полат пен Айнұр қайда тұрады? Олар əскери лагерде тұрады.

Grammar note: 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 turasïz ba, äskeriy 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. Үйде тұрасыз ба, пəтерде ме? Üyde turasïz ba, päterde me? B. Үйде тұрамын. Üyde turamïn. 2. A. Олар мейманханада тұра ма, пəтер үйде ме? Olar meymankhanada tura ma, päter üyde me? B. Олар пəтер үйде тұрады. Olar päter üyde turadï.

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? Шатырда тұрасыз ба, казармада ма?

7. Listen to the speaker and circle the words you hear. Check your work with the Answer Key. 1. barracks apartment building tent house military camp room hotel apartment 2. barracks apartment building tent house military camp room hotel apartment 3. barracks apartment building tent house military camp room hotel apartment 4. barracks apartment building tent house military camp room hotel apartment

Page 31: 03 Kazakh Familiarization Course

31

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 “Üyim bar.” The word bar means “exists” or “there is.” I have a house. Üyim bar. Үйім бар. You have a house. Üyingiz bar. Үйіңіз бар. He/she has a house. Üyi bar. Үйі бар. We have a house. Üyimiz bar. Үйіміз бар. You (plural) have a house. (Sizderding) üyingiz bar. (Сіздердің) үйіңіз бар. They have a house. (Olardïng) üyi bar. (Олардың) үйі бар.

8. Listen to the following sentences and repeat after the speaker. Follow along in your workbook. 1 I have a house in Almaty. Almatïda üyim bar. Алматыда үйім бар. 2 We have a room in an apartment building.

Päter üyde bölmemiz bar. Пəтер үйде бөлмеміз бар.

3. Baqït has an apartment in Aqtöbe.

Aqtöbede Baqïttïng päteri bar. Ақтөбеде Бақыттың пəтері бар.

4. Polat and Ghalya have their house in Shymkent.

Polat pen Ghalyanïng üyi Shïmkentte.

Полат пен Ғаляның үйі Шымкентте.

9. Make up sentences using the correct form of the verb “to have.” Менің/ mening Сіздің/ sizding үй.../ üy Оның/ onïng Сіздердің/ sizderding пəтер.../ päter Біздің/ bizding Олардың/ olardïng бөлме.../ bölme

бар. bar.

10. Listen to the new vocabulary related to professions and repeat after the speaker. Profession Mamandïq Мамандық Doctor Däriger/vrach Дəрігер / врач Nurse Medbike Медбике Laborer Zhumïsshï Жұмысшы Teacher Oqïtuwshï Оқытушы Student Oquwshï/student Оқушы / студент Soldier Zhauïnger Жауынгер Mechanic Mekhanik Механик

Farmer Fermer/diyqan Фермер / диқан Police Officer Politsiyaner Полициянер Waitress Dayashï äyel/ofitsiantka Даяшы əйел / официантка Interpreter Awdaruwshï Аударушы

11. Circle the most likely profession that the person in the picture is most likely to be.

Medbike me, oqïtuwshï ma? Медбике ме, оқытушы ма?

Politsiyaner me, diyqan ba? Полициянер ме, диқан ба?

Dayashï äyel me, däriger me? Даяшы əйел ме, дəрігер ме?

Zhawïnger me, awdaruwshï ma?

Жауынгер ме, аударушы ма?

Page 33: 03 Kazakh Familiarization Course

33

12. Match the Kazakh words on the right with their English equivalents on the left. Check your work with the Answer Key. 1. Profession A. Даяшы əйел Dayashï äyel 2. Doctor B. Диқан Diyqan 3. Nurse C. Аударушы Awdaruwshï 4. Laborer D. Мамандық Mamandïq 5. Teacher E. Медбике Medbike 6. Student F. Полиционер Politsioner 7. Soldier G. Дəрігер Däriger 8. Mechanic H. Жұмысшы Zhumïsshï 9. Farmer I. Студент Student 10. Police Officer J. Солдат Soldat 11. Waitress K. Механик Mekhanik 12. Interpreter L. Оқытушы Oqïtuwshï

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, ï, o, and u, and it will be +ler/+der/+ter if the word ends with e, i, ö, ü. 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.

13. Listen to the plural form of nouns related to the names of professions, and repeat after the speaker. Profession - professions mamandïq mamandïqtar Мамандық мамандықтар Doctor - doctors däriger därigerler Дəрігер дəрігерлер Nurse - nurses medbiyke medbiykeler Медбике медбикелер Laborer - laborers jumïsshï jumïsshïlar Жұмысшы жұмысшылар Teacher - teachers

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 jastamïn.” 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 Күнделік жұмыс

Kündelik zhumïs

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 o’clock,” the Kazakh equivalent is, “it has become one hour.” Saghat bir boldï. If there is a need to distinguish between A.M. and P.M., one can use the words for “morning” tangerteng, “afternoon” tüsten keyin, or “at night” tünde. Military time is not used in normal conversation. When giving times before or after the hour, Kazakhs use the word for “past” ötti, and qaldï “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,” zharïm, 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 ötti and qaldï: saghat zhetiden on bes minut ötkende = “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’).

өтті.

What time is it? It is three twenty. What time is it? It is three forty.

4. Compose dialogues according to the model below. Work in pairs or in small groups. Use the times listed below. MODEL: A. - What time is it? Сағат қанша болды? Saghat qansha boldï? B. - It is two o’clock in the afternoon. Түстен кейін сағат екі болды. Tüsten keyin saghat eki boldï. 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”, oqï- “read, study”, iste- “work”, qara- “watch, look”, zhe- “eat”, kör- “to see”, oyna- “play”, and tur- “stand, get up”. To form the present/future tense, one adds the suffixes –emin/-amïn, -esiz/-asïz, etc. to the stem, unless the stem ends in a vowel (here: oqï-, zhe-, qara-, and oyna-), in which case the consonant “y” is inserted, making the endings –ymin/-ymïn, -ysiz/-ysïz, 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 baramïn барамын I read/study oqiymïn оқимын you go barasïz барасыз you

read/study oqiysïz оқисыз

he goes baradï барады he reads/studies

* Kazakhs use the word for “see” kör-, 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): Almatï + da = Almatïda “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): Almatï + gha = Almatïgha “to Almaty” Semey + ge = Semeyge “to Semey” mektep + ke = mektepke “to school” Baghdat + qa = Baghdatqa “to Baghdad”

Lesson 5 Meeting the Family

Жанұя менен Танысу Zhanuya menen Tanïsuw

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 father’s side.

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

Lesson 7 Shopping Базарда 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 (теңге). 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.”

enoe

күріш* нан шекер балмұздақ / морожежное

Lamb Chicken qoy eti tawïq қой еті тауық

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

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.

Бұл азық-түлік дүкені. Сəуле азық-түлік

дүкенінде істейді. Ол кассир.

Талғат азық-түлік дүкенінде істейді. Ол сатушы.

Page 97: 03 Kazakh Familiarization Course

Did you understand new words? азық-түлік дүкені / azïq-tülik dükeni means grocery store кассир / kassir means cashier сатушы / satuwshï means salesperson киім-кешек дүкені / kiyim-keshek dükeni 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. Талғат қайда істейді? Talghat qayda isteydi? Where does Talghat work? B. Талғат азық-түлік дүкенінде істейді. Talghat azïq-tülik dükeninde 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 –maqshï/-mekshi/-paqshï/-pekshi to the verb, giving a meaning somewhat similar to “wanting to...” Here are some examples with verbs you know: bar + maqshï – “wants to go” Talghat Almatïgha barmaqshï. = 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 don’t want to eat (any). Kazakhs may also use present tense verbs in places where the English word “want” would be used, for example: Barasïz ba? = Do you (want to) go? Zheysiz be? = Do you (want to) eat? While technically the verb for “to buy” in Kazakh is satïp al-, the verb al- (to get) will often suffice:

Televizor satïp almaqshïmïn or Televizor almaqshïmïn both mean “I want to buy a television.” Мен ... сатып алмақшымын. Men ... satïp almaqshïmïn. Сіз ... сатып алмақшысыз. Siz ... satïp almaqshïsïz. Ол ... сатып алмақшы. Ol ... satïp almaqshï. Біз ... сатып алмақшымыз. Biz ... satïp almaqshïmïz. Олар ... сатып алмақшы. Olar ... satïp almaqshï.

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.

Айнұр кітап сатып алмақшы. Ол кітап дүкенінде.

Мұрат сағат сатып алмақшы. Ол базарлық дүкенінде.

Aynur kitap satïp almaqshï. Ol kitap dükeninde.

Murat saghat satïp almaqshï. Ol bazarlïq dükeninde.

Did you understand new words? Кітап дүкені /Kitap dükeni means bookstore сағат /saghat means clock базарлық дүкені /bazarlïq dükeni means gift store 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. Сарымай мен нан алмақшымын. A. Murat wants to buy lamb. Sarïmay men nan almaqshïmïn. 2. Айнұр кітап алмақшы. B. They want to buy yoghurt. Aynur kitap almaqshï. 3. Мұрат қой етін алмақшы. C. I want to buy bread and butter. Murat qoy etin almaqshï. 4. Талғат сағат сатып алмақшы. D. My sister wants to buy clothes. Talghat saghat satïp almaqshï.

5. Сауға сатып алмақшымыз. E. Talghat wants to buy a clock. Sawgha satïp almaqshïmïz. 6. Олар айран алмақшы. F. Aynur wants to buy a book. Olar ayran almaqshï. 7. Қарындасым киім алмақшы. G. We want to buy a gift. Qarïndasïm kiyim almaqshï. Grammar note: While normally two nouns in relation to each other require a possessive suffix on the second noun, for example, kitap dükeni (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/+ï 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 bölke nan, or “loaf bread,” as opposed to flat Central Asian bread. A pound/kilo of melons bir kilo qawïn бір кило қауын A box of rice bir korobka kürish бір коробка күріш A bag of potatoes bir qap kartop бір қап картоп A bottle of water bir bütilke suw бір бүтілке су A liter of milk bir litr süt бір литр сүт 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 turadï?” For example, “Bir kilo qoy eti qansha turadï?” means “How much is one kilo of lamb?” Cultural note: In the bazaar, if you want to ask if there’s nothing cheaper, say, “Arzanï zhoq pa?” To ask if they won’t sell it for a lower price, say for example, “Bes zhüz bolmay ma,” which means “how about 500?” To accept the price, say “Boladï.” To refuse the price, say “Bolmaydï.” 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.

Qansha turadï? B. A bottle of yoghurt is 250 tenge. Бір бүтілке айран 250 теңге. Bir bütilke ayran 250 tenge. A. Thank you. Раxмет. Raxmet. B. You are welcome. Сау болыңыз. Saw bolïngïz. 9.

4. Қарындасым екеуіміз* ______________________ дүкенінен киім аламыз. Qarïndasïm ekewimiz ______________________ dükeninen kiyim alamïz. 5. ______________________ дүкенінен киім-кешек, кітап* жəне сауға сатып аламыз. ______________________ dükeninen kiyim-keshek, kitaptar zhäne sawgha satïp alamïz. * 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 “dükeninen.” 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 aldïm” 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. Киім-кешек дүкенінен/кітап дүкенінен кітап аламын.

Атам мен əжем кітап дүкенінен/азық-тұлік дүкенінен сүт пен сарымай сатып алады. Atam men äzhem kitap dükeninen/azïq-tulik dükeninen süt pen sarïmay satïp aladï. 5. Универмагтан/кітап дүкенінен киім-кешек, кітап, жəне сауға сатып алуымыз мүмкін. Univermagtan/kitap dükeninen kiyim-keshek, kitap, zhäne sawgha satïp aluwïmïz mümkin. Grammar note: To express the idea of “can” as in, “possibility” or “opportunity,” one uses the word mümkin (“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 baruwïm mümkin баруым мүмкін You can go baruwïngïz mümkin баруыңыз мүмкін He/she can go baruwï mümkin баруы мүмкін We can go baruwïmïz mümkin баруымыз мүмкін You can go baruwïngïz mümkin баруыңыз мүмкін They can go baruwï mümkin баруы мүмкін

Lesson 8 Eating Out Ресторанда 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), qazï (horse sausage),

and mantï (large pot stickers).

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: There are three ways to express dates in Kazakh. For example, September 25th can be expressed as: zhiyïrma besinshi qïrqüyek qïrqüyek ayïnïng zhiyïrma besi The names of months, like the days of the week, do not need to be capitalized.

8. Listen as the speaker reads the following years. Repeat after the speaker. Note: To express years in Kazakh, the ordinal numbers are used, as you see in the examples. There is no way of shortening the date, as we have in English; the entire date is given, along with the word for year, for example: “one thousand nine hundred and sixty seventh year” is the Kazakh equivalent of “nineteen sixty-seven.” 1925-nineteen twenty-five mïng toghïz zhüz zhiyïrma besinshi zhïl мың тоғыз жүз жиырма бесінші

жыл 1900-nineteen hundred mïng toghïz zhüzinshi zhïl мың тоғыз жүзінші жыл 2004-two thousand four eki mïng törtinshi zhïl екі мың төртінші жыл

Note: Dates in Kazakh are expressed in the European style: day/month/year. You may also see the month written in roman numerals, for example, 15/IX/99 for September 15, 1999.

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 (tör) or as “high” (zhogharï) as possible. The tör 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.

Page 127: 03 Kazakh Familiarization Course

127

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.

15. Listen to the following conversation between two people. Repeat after the speakers. Follow along in the workbook. Answer the questions that follow. Check your work with the Answer Key. A. Сəлем, Абай. Амансыз ба? Мамырдың алтысында тұған күні кеші болады.

Lesson 10 Around the House

Үйде Üyde

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. Bathroom däretkhana/tualet дəретхана/туалет Bedroom zhatatïn bölme жататын бөлме Door esik есік Floor eden/zher еден/жер Window tereze терезе Garage garazh гараж Roof shatïr шатыр Antenna antenna антенна Basement podval подвал Yard qora/awla қора/аула Kitchen kukhnya/as bölmesi кухня/ас бөлмесі Living room qonaq bölme қонақ бөлме Dining room stolovaya/askhana столовая/аcхана One-story bir qabattï бір қабатты Two-story eki qabattï екі қабатты First floor birinshi qabat бірінші қабат Second floor ekinshi qabat екінші қабат

Page 134: 03 Kazakh Familiarization Course

134

Cultural note: Kazakh terminology for household vocabulary is highly influenced by Russian. While there are many newly coined words for “sink,” “dining room,” etc., these are not widely used. 2. Match the Kazakh words in the left column with their English equivalents in the right column. Check your answers with the Answer Key.

1. туалет tualet A. Basement 2. жататын бөлме zhatatïn bölme B. Yard 3. шатыр shatïr C. Garage 4. есік esik D. Living room 5. еден eden E. Bathroom 6. терезе tereze F. Kitchen 7. гараж garazh G.

Complete the following sentences by filling in the blanks with a word from the list written in the box. Check your work with the Answer Key. гараж жататын бөлме антенна қора кухня қонақ бөлмемен столовая garazh zhatatïn bölme antenna qora kukhnya qonaq bölmemen stolovaya 1.

жанында. Kukhnya qayda? Zhatatïn bölme qonaq bölmening zhanïnda. C. Жататын бөлме қайда? 3. Бар. Үлкен подвалымыз бар. Zhatatïn bölme qayda? Bar.Ülken podvalïmïz bar. D. Столоваяңыз бар ма? 4.

Note: When asking “how many,” remember you don’t need to use plurals: Neshe bölmengiz bar? (How many rooms do you have?) Tört bölmemiz bar. (We have four rooms.) A short way of asking “How many (of)?” is Neshew? (when asking about things that can be counted, not quantities); the answer is “birew” “ekew”, etc. For example, in answering the question above about rooms, the reply could have been “Törtew bar.” or simply “Törtew.” 6. Work in pairs or in small groups. Pretend that you want to buy a house and your classmate is a real estate agent. Make up a dialogue using the model below. MODEL: A. I want to buy a two-story house. A. Екі қабатты үй алмақшымын. Eki qabattï üy almaqshïmïn. B. There is a nice small house next to the market. B. Базардың жанында жақсы кішкене үй бар. Bazardïng zhanïnda zhaqsï kishkene üy bar. A.

Lesson 13 Transportation Транспорт 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.

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.

Grammar note: Minüw 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 minüw = to board a bus Ketüw = to depart Kelüw= to arrive Ketüw = to leave Qaytïp kelüw = to return/to come back

Page 188: 03 Kazakh Familiarization Course

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 minüw 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 oqïydï = Nurlan will read a book next week.

Lesson 18 Political and International Events

Саяси жəне Халықаралық оқиғалар Sayasiy zhäne khalïqaralïq 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 Union’s collapse in 1991. Kazakhstan’s 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 executive’s powers vis-à-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 Kazakhstan’s 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 Kazakhstan’s 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

Госпиталь, Аурухана 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 Kazakhstan’s independence, Kazakhstan’s 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.
