Tajik Grammar - Nouns

Hi Tajik learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing nouns in the Tajik language. Nouns are an important part of any language, and understanding how to use them correctly is essential for speaking and writing Tajik. We will cover the basics of nouns, including their gender, number, and case. We will also look at some examples of nouns in sentences. By the end of this lesson, you should have a good understanding of Tajik nouns.

Gender

Nouns in Tajik can be either masculine or feminine. This is indicated by the ending of the word. Masculine nouns usually end in -i or -a, while feminine nouns usually end in -o or -e. For example, the word for "teacher" is муаллим (muallim), which is masculine, and the word for "student" is студент (student), which is feminine.

Number

Nouns in Tajik can also be singular or plural. Singular nouns refer to one person or thing, while plural nouns refer to more than one person or thing. To make a noun plural, the ending of the word is usually changed. For example, the word for "book" is китоб (kitob), and the plural form is китобҳо (kitobho).

Case

Tajik nouns also have different cases. The cases indicate how the noun is used in a sentence. There are three main cases: nominative, accusative, and dative. The nominative case is used when the noun is the subject of the sentence. The accusative case is used when the noun is the direct object of the sentence. The dative case is used when the noun is the indirect object of the sentence. For example, the word for "teacher" is муаллим (muallim) in the nominative case, муаллимро (muallimro) in the accusative case, and муаллима (muallima) in the dative case.

Examples

Let's look at some examples of nouns in sentences.

• Муаллим дар маҷмӯъ дида мешавад (The teacher teaches in the classroom).
• Студентҳо дар маҷмӯъ мазкур мекунанд (The students study in the classroom).
• Донишгоҳ дар маҷмӯъ навишта мекунад (The children play in the classroom).
  
  

As you can see, the nouns in these sentences are in different cases. The teacher is in the nominative case, the students are in the accusative case, and the children are in the dative case.
