Book an appointment and check the documents, time and room. Daulet is the patient; Aigul works at reception.
How the language works
Use the dative case to say whom you want to see: därıger + ge → därıgerge. In qabyldauyna, qabyldau takes possessive -y and directional -na: därıgerdıñ qabyldauyna means “for an appointment with the doctor”. Jazylğym keledı means “I would like to book”: jazyl- + -ğy + -m + keledı. Sağat üşke means “for three o’clock”; sağat üşte means “at three o’clock”. Check document requirements and procedures with your clinic; the dialogue is a practice example.

Choose an answer before opening the explanation. Then explain your choice.
1. You have chosen three o’clock. How do you ask to book that time?
- Sağat üşte üidemın.
- Menı sağat üşke jazyñyzşy.
- Sağat üşten keiın kelemın.
- Sağat üşke deiın kütemın.
Answer and explanation
Menı sağat üşke jazyñyzşy.
Üşke marks the time you want to book. The other sentences describe being at home, arriving after three and waiting until three.
2. How do you ask which room your appointment will be in?
- Tırkeu bölımı qaida?
- Qandai qūjat kerek?
- Qabyldau qai kabinette bolady?
- Qai därıgerge jazylğyñyz keledı?
Answer and explanation
Qabyldau qai kabinette bolady?
Qai kabinette means “in which room”: kabinet + -te. Qai därıgerge asks which doctor you want to see.
3. The receptionist says: Sızdı erteñ sağat üşke jazdym. When is the appointment?
- Erteñ sağat üşte.
- Bügın sağat üşte.
- Erteñ sağat ekıde.
- Bügın sağat ekıde.
Answer and explanation
Erteñ sağat üşte.
Erteñ means “tomorrow”. Üşke jazdym means “booked for three”, so the appointment is sağat üşte — at three o’clock.
