Compound verb is a complex predicate that functions as a single verb.
One component of the compound verb is a light verb that provides only fine shades of meaning.
The other, "primary", component is a verb, which carries most of the semantics of the compound.
In Uzbek, in the Verb + Verb compound, the first verb is “heavier” and the second verb is “lighter”. That is removing the “light” verb will not semantically and grammatically affect the meaning.
For example:
- Alisher institutga bir yildan keyin qaitib keldi. Alisher returned to college after a year.
Qaytib keldi is a V+V compound where first verb carries the main meaning “return” and the second means “came”. Compound verbs receives suffix only on the second word.
For example:
- Men atir gullarni yaxshi kuraman. I like roses.
See the following conjugation of the compound verb dam olmoq – “to rest” in Present-Future tense.
- Men dam olaman
- Sen dam olasan
- U dam oladi
- Biz dam olamiz
- Siz(lar) dam olasiz
- Ular dam oladilar
