-гіз

Kazakh Alternative forms kk -ғыз, kk -кіз, kk -қыз Etymology This exact formant is absent from Old Turkic and is only limited to Kipchak-Karluk languages. It probably arose through remodeling or conflation of kk trk-pro *-gur and kk trk-pro *-iŕ. Cognate to ky -гиз, alt -гис, uz -gaz, etc. Suffix kk suffix Used to form causative verbs. kk -іт -із -ір -дір Usage notes All causative suffixes are synonymous and carry the same meaning, but the usage is irregular and it's not possible to know which one should be used. The only rule is that kk -т is always used after a vowel. Often verbs may have a few synonymous causatives formed by different suffixes: kk жазу жаз- to write + kk -ғыз > kk жазғызу жазғыз- to make someone write kk жазу жаз- to write + kk -дыр > kk жаздыру жаздыр- to make someone write And it is also possible to attach multiple suffixes, either forming a new meaning or just keeping the same one: kk оқу оқы- to read + kk -т + kk -қыз > kk оқытқызу оқытқыз- to make someone read kk өлу өл- to die + kk -тір > kk өлтіру өлтір- to kill + kk -т > kk өлтірту өлтірт- to make someone kill
