Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.
If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

I ask this out of curiosity: is the Arabic script orthography for Kazakh similar to the Arabic script orthography for Uyghur? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 16:26, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
{{etyl}}. We strive to remove it – it is not to be spread, {{der}}, {{bor}}, {{inh}}, {{cog}} and the like are to be used in its place.Here's a list of requested entries for Kazakh. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 05:32, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
I am sorry I do not know Russian except for Russian alphabets, but I try to understand it through English-Russian dictionary. -- Vtgnoq7238rmqco (talk) 03:41, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
Don't forget the Kazakh Wiktionary as well. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 22:35, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
Why add a label “chemistry” to names of chemical elements if they are categorized in Category:kk:Chemical elements already? The definition does not become better of it, and the categorization becomes worse, because there is a lot of stuff afterwards in Category:kk:Chemistry which has its place already.
Adding “botany” in front of plant names is also wrong. The plant names are probably not only used by botanists but by common people too, right, but even if only by botanists one should not use this label for organisms but other terminology. You should instead categorize them by order, family, tribe, depending on what you get together. Look in the sidebar of the English Wikipedia entry of the plant which family or order it belongs too (or on Wikispecies). Plus if the genus name is a red link {{taxlink}} should be used so one gets a link to Wikipedia and they can be created because uses of uncreated taxons are tracked; if created, {{taxlink}} will behave like a normal link.

Hi,
Thank you for your Kazakh contributions! I've added a bunch of very common words to WT:RE:kk. I hope you don't feel overwhelmed. I encourage you to focus on super common basic words first, ауа (aua, “air”), теңіз (teñız, “sea”) or бөрік (börık, “hat”) are certainly more common words than words қайырма (qaiyrma). :) I'll leave it up to you, though. I don't know of any frequency lists for Kazakh.
BTW, feel free to removed all the the unsolicited spam above - surveys and reminders. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:25, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
Are these كٸەۆ and ٷكراٸنا correct conversions into Arabic Kazakh of Киев (Kiev) and Украина (Ukraina)? --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:05, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Not exactly. Firstly, the digit "hamza" (U+0674) is only used at the beginning of a word, and so are the ligatures based on it (U+0675, U+0676, U+0677 and U+0678). No hamza is appeared in the middle of the word. Secondly, и is equivalent to ي and у is to ۋ. Please check the Kazakh letters for any details. I have edited all Cyrillic and Arabic ones.

Hi,
I think providing sc parameter to Korean hanja entries is unnecessary, as the Korean modules can handle this better and hanja use the same setting as the hangeul. Basically, texts containing hanja should look the same, e.g. 공부하다 (gongbuhada) should have the same look as 工夫하다, not like 工夫하다. Hint: if you make the fonts larger in your browser, you'll see that in the first example, the characters are of different font and size.
Not so sure about Vietnamese, I don't know if we have a script detection for Hán tự entries but we should, IMO.--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:53, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Category:Kazakh words suffixed with -ды, -ді -лы, -лі, -ты and -ті should all be merged under -лі. The etymology of a word such as ақпаратты (aqparatty) should be changed from {{af|kk|ақпарат|-ты}} to {{af|kk|ақпарат|-лі|alt2=-ты}}. Empty suffix categories should be deleted.

An IP recently added Гурбантүңгүт as the Kazakh translation for Gurbantünggüt. Гурбантүңгүт is showing no hits on Google Books or Google Scholar. Could you please verify if it is indeed correct?
Also, the word seems to be from Monogolian/Oirat because 古爾班 in 古爾班通古特 means three in Mongolic languages. I can't seem to find the Mongolian/Oirat source word from which the Chinese word 古爾班通古特 is borrowed though. Do you have any idea what it is? Thanks a lot in advance! RcAlex36 (talk) 18:32, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
I can confirm that Гурбантүңгүт is not the correct Kazakh translation. It could be Uighur written in Cyrillic script. Vtgnoq7238rmqco (talk) 04:17, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I notice you are incorrectly indenting Kazakh terms with multiple etymologies. An example is асексуалдық (aseksualdyq), which you just created. Whenever there are multiple etymologies, everything underneath ===Etymology 1===, ===Etymology 2===, etc. needs to be indented one more level than it otherwise would be. As a result, this is incorrect:
==Kazakh== ===Etymology 1=== ===Noun=== ====Declension==== ===Etymology 2=== ===Adjective=== ====Declension====
instead it needs to look like this:
==Kazakh== ===Etymology 1=== ====Noun==== =====Declension===== ===Etymology 2=== ====Adjective==== =====Declension=====
I am about to do a bot run to clean up existing Kazakh entries. Just make sure to create new entries using the extra indentation, thanks! Benwing2 (talk) 05:28, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
Please note that we only tag Chinese words as nouns if they are true nouns according to Chinese grammar. Thank you. ---> Tooironic (talk) 11:11, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi I have made this template to automatically generate the Arabic, Cyrillic and Latin spelling. Currently it only works on the Cyrillic entry, let me know if you notice any issues; and give me general feedback! Once it's working perfectly it'll probably merge with or replace template:kk-regional سَمِیر | Sameer (مشارکتها • کتی من گپ بزن) 02:25, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi,
Regarding intricate?diff=75817585, I just wanted to make sure you were aware that when you use the MediaWiki link syntax ] inside {{t+}}, it disables/prevents the link to the other Wiktionary. I think you might have wanted to write {{t+|cmn|複雜|alt=複雜的|tr=fùzá de}}, which leaves that link intact (pointing to the counterpart of the link on en.wikt): 複雜的／复杂的 (zh) (fùzá de). (Up to you — I don't know Chinese, so if there's a reason for how you did it, I wouldn't know.)
Thanks,

Hello Vtgnoq7238rmqco! How are you? Well, I saw that you added a pronunciation section in Kazakh, but it doesn't seem convincing to me, I don't understand much about the phonology of this language, but it looks like you just took the Russian transcription and pasted it into the Kazakh entry, it doesn't seem right to do that Stríðsdrengur (talk) 01:59, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
