These are things that I was surprised to find attested (and common!) in Kazakh.
Contents
3rd Person in unquoted quoted speech
- Кім екенін мен білмейді деп ойлай ма?
- who ~being-ACC I know-NEG-PresPART-3rd ~as think-PresPART Q?
- Does she think I don't know who it is?
Possession not mandatory for inalienable(?) things
- "біздің қораның" instead of "біздің қорамыздың" ("our barn")
Possessed things as adjectives
- "шашы ұзын қыз" - "long haired girl"
- compare:
- қызыл түсті зат - red coloured thing
- түсі қызыл зат - its-colour red thing
бар possession problem
- ит бар адам
- dog COP man
- the man who has a/the dog
