What we review in module 1:
• sen and siz: Salom! Qalaysan? ↔ Assalomu alaykum! Qalaysiz?; aka and opa after a name, and ustoz: only with siz;
• names: Mening ismim …, Ismingiz nima?, Uning ismi …;
• who I am and who you are: the personal endings -man, -san, -siz, -miz, -sizlar; no ending in the third person;
• questions with the particle -mi, and “not”: emas; Siz-chi? and ham;
• where you're from: -lik and the set pair Qayerdansiz? — Men Amerikadanman;
• numbers to a hundred and age: … yoshdaman.
The most frequent mistake is to forget the personal ending: English “I am a student”, Uzbek Men talabaman.
There are no new words in this lesson.
Pronouns and personal endings
The ending is the same for all words; there is none in the third person.
| Who | Pronoun | Ending | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | men | -man | Men talabaman |
| you (informal) | sen | -san | Sen talabasan |
| you (to one person, formal) | siz | -siz | Siz talabasiz |
| he, she | u | none | U talaba |
| we | biz | -miz | Biz talabamiz |
| you (to several people) | sizlar | -sizlar | Sizlar talabasizlar |
| they | ular | none (or -lar) | Ular talaba / talabalar |
Questions with -mi, and “not”: emas
The particle is joined to the word; emas is a separate word, and the personal ending goes on it.
| Who | Question | No, not … |
|---|---|---|
| I | Men talabamanmi? | talaba emasman |
| you (informal) | Sen talabamisan? | talaba emassan |
| you (to one person) | Siz talabamisiz? | talaba emassiz |
| he, she | U talabami? | talaba emas |
| we | Biz talabamizmi? | talaba emasmiz |
| you (to several people) | Sizlar talabamisizlar? | talaba emassizlar |
| they | Ular talabami? | talaba emas |
