I can name the rooms and the furniture, describe my apartment and what's in each room — and not mix up a kitchen with a canteen or a living room with a hotel.
Uyim: rooms and things at home
Uyim: rooms and things at home
In Uzbek a house is uy, an apartment is xonadon, a room is xona. You can already say what there is in a home: the place with -da and the word bor. Uyimda uchta xona bor — “my house has three rooms” (literally “in my house there are three rooms”).
Many names of rooms and buildings end in -xona (“room, place”): mehmon “guest”, mehmonxona “a room for guests”. The same goes for yotoqxona, oshxona, hojatxona — and the familiar dorixona, kutubxona, kasalxona.
Two words name two places each — look at the words around them:
• oshxona — a kitchen in an apartment and a canteen in town
• mehmonxona — a living room in a home and a hotel in town
A refrigerator is muzlatgich. In town you'll also hear a word from Russian, but the course uses the literary one.
Common mistakes:
• NOT “Men uy uchta xona bor” → Uyimda uchta xona bor
• NOT “xona yotoq” → yotoqxona (the word xona comes at the end)
