Looking for some youtube channels that speak predominantly in Kyrgyz. I'm hoping to watch some content to aid in my study of the language. The topic isn't as important to me. Extra points if they have English subtitles 😅

Do people always refer to him as just “Manas” or maybe “Manas the hero/great” or something?

I dont get this one. This is a question in an online quiz with multiple choices below:

A. The concept of finishing goods

B. The concept of increasing commercial efforts

C. The concept of perfecting production

D. The concept of Marketing

The quiz is about marketing business so i guess the answer might have something relevant. Wish for your helppp!!

Жакшы эл камын ойлойт, жаман өз камын ойлойт

Hello, Firstly I am learning Kyrgyz because my best friend is from Kyrgyzstan (*disclaimer she speaks Russian not kyrgyz) her parents buy her books to help learn but I cannot figure out where to buy?

Hi, Chinese here. I have some interest about studying languages. My native languages are Chinese and Uyghur language. So now I am considering to learn another similar turkic language. But I realize that Kyrgyz language are writtern in Russian Letter, which I am not familiar with? So I want to know is there any latinization plan official or un-official that I can use to learn?

Anyone know a publishing house in the Kyrgyz Republic that would print books and translate into English ?

My friend wrote it on my dusty car and she doesn’t want to tell me what it means for some reason. Using Google translate it means “I’m a cat” but she says it’s wrong. She says it’s kyrgyz language.

"б" makes a /w/ sound between vowels so i replaced "б" with a "w" when it makes a /w/ sound. алдаба - aldawa (don't lie)

in cyrillic kyrgyz "к" makes a /q/ sound sometimes. кыз - qyz. китеп - kitep. imo spelling the /q/ sound as k looks unpolished so i have the letter q for /q/ sounds

same with "г" which sometimes makes a ğ sound. same point as above. кыргызстан - qyrğyzstan

"я" "ю" "ё" are from russian and are spelled as they sound "ja" "ju" "jo"

"ц" is from russian and is spelled as it sounds "ts"

long vowels are now written with a dash ō, ā, ū and etc. тоо - tō. the letters are not apart of the alphabet but are like accent marks

i don't see a lot of people make the letter "j" correspond to the /j/ sound but rather make it correspond for /dʒ/ or /ʒ/ sounds. if we make "j" for the /dʒ/ sound we will have the letter "c" free which either would be /ts/ or something else which would be confusing. imo it easier to just assign "j" for the /j/ sound, like in the ipa and in the most european languages. assign "c" for /dʒ/ sound, like in turkish. and since kyrgyz uses the /ʒ/ only in foreign words and even then, rarely, use "j" for them. also making a new letter for /j/ like î, ï etc. in my opinion is not worth it

"ң" is now "ŋ" because, personally, it looks better than, for example "ñ" and corresponds to the ipa /ŋ/

the long vowels to ō, ū etc. part is the only part i'm not really sure about. idk if i should include them in my latin alphabet

some examples (made sure i used all the new letters):

Бардык адамдар өз беделинде жана укуктарында эркин жана тең укуктуу болуп жаралат. Алардын аң-сезими менен абийири бар жана бири-бирине бир туугандык мамиле кылууга тийиш.

Bardyq adamdar öz bedelinde cana uquqtarynda erkin cana teŋ uquqtuu bolup caralat. Alardyn aŋ-sezimi menen abijiri bar cana biri-birine bir tūğandyq mamile qylūğa tijiş.

What is the difference between naçar & alsyz. Maybe alsyz is physically weak, but naçar is insufficient?

Hi guys I am listening to Мирбек Атабеков's Сүрдөтпөчү a lot and I was wondering what the word "Сүрдөтпөчү" meant cuz i cant rly find any info online about it, thanks!

Same with days of the week. Would it be işemwi or işembi?

Salam Dostor, I hope you're having a great day! Ever since I started studying Kyrgyz, I found myself having an extremely hard time finding good resources to study with, or good methods to use in order to study it. In this video, I go over how get over these hurdles not just with Kyrgyz, but with other "obscure" languages aswell.

Any feedback or input to fill in anything I missed would be appreciated, thanks!

Thank you everybody it’s crazy how this subreddit has grown

“көчөт” as in sapling. (I don't know if it has other meanings.)

I know when you say “my cat” you change “мышык” то “мышыгым”. Would “your cat” be “мышыгың”?

Both mean bad but is there a difference?

What does the particle "Ala" mean?

I feel like I have heard this term before to refer to someone who is stupid, but am I wrong? Did I create a new saying?
