LingoflyZetkizilim, daiyndama, tañbalau: a noun from a verb in production
In a warehouse one root gives several different Kazakh words. The tail divides the action, the result and the person who does it. For example: “Жеткізілім аптасына бір рет болады” (Zhetkizilim aptasyna bir ret bolady) — The delivery happens once a week. A rule from the Kazakh course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
In a warehouse one root gives several different Kazakh words. The tail divides the action, the result and the person who does it.
The tail -u gives the action, and the noun as well. Saqtau is both to store and storage; qabyldau is both to receive and reception. Only the place in the sentence tells them apart: saqtau sharty is a noun, saqtau kerek a verb.
The tail -ym names a result or a batch: zhetkizu gives zetkizilim, a delivery as a fact. The tail -ma names a made thing or a paper: daiyndama, a blank; nusqama, a briefing; synama, a sample.
The trap: -shy names a person or a firm. Mix the tails and you say the supplier was late instead of the delivery was late.

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
