Definite Article Exercises For Kazakh Grammar


Exercise 1: Recognize and type the non-existent Kazakh definite article


In the Kazakh language, unlike in English, there is no definite article equivalent to ‘the’. Given this, the concept does not directly translate in Kazakh language. To practice this understanding, we have created some grammar exercises. Here, we have used a ‘*’ to indicate the definite article in English that doesn’t directly translate to Kazakh. Your task is to recognize this and type it in the provided blank.
