Ask about expiry, storage and information in the leaflet; as the pharmacist, show the relevant section and check understanding.
How the language works
Aşqannan keiın means “after opening”: -ğan/-gen/-qan/-ken plus -nan/-nen and keiın links two events. This is distinct from jalpy jaramdylyq merzımı, the product’s overall shelf life. Nūsqaulyqta means “in the instructions”; nūsqaulyqtan means “from the instructions”: -ta indicates location and -tan indicates a source. Jaramdylyq merzımı qai jerde jazylğan? asks where the expiry date is printed; the practice dialogue does not invent a storage period.

Check your understanding
Choose an answer before opening the explanation. Then explain your choice.
1. How do you ask specifically about storage after opening?
- Qaptamadağy jazudy oqyp berıñızşı.
- Aşqannan keiın qanşa uaqyt saqtauğa bolady?
- Tüsınıktı boldy ma?
- Jaramdylyq merzımı qai jerde jazylğan?
Answer and explanation
Aşqannan keiın qanşa uaqyt saqtauğa bolady?
Aşqannan keiın means “after opening”. Asking where the expiry date is printed does not by itself clarify storage after opening.
2. Choose the form meaning “The storage conditions are given in this section”.
- Saqtau şarttary osy bölımnen jazylğan.
- Saqtau şarttary osy bölımge jazylğan.
- Saqtau şarttary osy bölımmen jazylğan.
- Saqtau şarttary osy bölımde jazylğan.
Answer and explanation
Saqtau şarttary osy bölımde jazylğan.
Bölımde means “in the section”: the locative ending -de indicates where the information is found.
3. How can a pharmacist suggest checking the information in the leaflet together?
- Nūsqaulyqtan bırge qarap şyğaiyq.
- Men negızgısın jazyp alaiyn.
- Toñazytqyşta saqtau kerek pe?
- Qandai janama äserlerı boluy mümkın?
Answer and explanation
Nūsqaulyqtan bırge qarap şyğaiyq.
Bırge means “together”; qarap şyğaiyq means “let us look through it”. The phrase identifies the information source and suggests a shared action.
Make it your own
The customer asks two different questions: about the expiry date and about storage after opening. The pharmacist suggests finding the information in the instructions and points to the relevant section. Do not invent a storage temperature or period.
- I distinguished overall expiry from storage after opening
- I asked two clear questions
- As the pharmacist, I identified the information source
