Grammar and Vocabulary
Explanations
For Dialogue 1
The comparative degree of adjectives is formed by
adding the suffix -roq to the stem of an adjective:
|
Uzbek Examples • Lesson Ten • |
| issiq+roq > issiqroq |
warmer |
| sovuq+roq > sovuqroq |
colder |
The superlative degree of adjectives is formed by
placing the word eng (most, very) before an adjective. Sometimes,
especially in spoken Uzbek, the word juda (very, too) is used instead
of eng:
|
Uzbek Examples • Lesson Ten • |
| juda shirin = eng shirin |
sweetest |
| juda qimmat = eng qimmat |
most expensive |
Another funcion of the particle -chi is to
form a question meaning 'what about?' In this meaning the particle may be
added to one word noun predicates:
|
Uzbek Examples • Lesson Ten • |
| nok-chi? |
what about the pears? |
| kelmasa-chi |
What if he, she does not come? |
For Dialogue 2
The words xola and bolam are forms of
address. Xola (aunt) is used by younger people to address unknown
older woman and the word bolam (my child) is used by older men and
women to address younger people:
|
Uzbek Example • Lesson Ten • |
| Rozimisiz, xola? |
Do you agree, aunt? |
| Mayli, bolam. |
All right, my child |
When the irregular verb form ekan is used as a
component of a noun predicate, it may be translated 'seem,' 'seems,' 'after
all,' 'apparently'. The predicative suffixes -man, -san; -miz,
-siz, -lar may be added directly to the irregular form ekan.

Pronunciation Note
The compound verb bera qoling consists of
the present gerund bera (giving) and the auxilliary verb qoling
(to stay). The first verb in the compound carries the primary meaning, while
qolmoq adds the meaning of permission or a request. When qolmoq
expresses a request, the vowel in the second syllable is pronounced longer:
