Hi Northern Uzbek learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn the grammatical rules for constructing the future tense in Northern Uzbek.
What is the future tense?
The future tense is used to describe an event that will happen or occur in the future. For example, "I will eat dinner tonight" is a sentence in the future tense.
In Northern Uzbek, the future tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "bo'l-" followed by the infinitive form of the main verb. The infinitive verb must end in "-moq".
For example:
- Men yemek yer+man. (present tense: "I am eating dinner.")
- Men yemek yer+aman. (future tense: "I will eat dinner.")
In the future tense, the infinitive -moq suffix becomes -mAn.
For example:
| Northern Uzbek | English Translation |
|---|---|
| yemek | to eat |
| yemek-moq | to want to eat |
| yemek-mAn | will eat (future tense) |
Notice that the future tense form always includes the auxiliary verb "bol-" which is often translated as "will" in English. Also, be aware that the auxiliary verb will change according to the subject of the sentence i.e. it will take the suffix -Man when the subject of the sentence is first person singular ("I" in English), and it will take the suffix -sin when the subject of the sentence is second person singular ("you" in English).
For example:
- Sen yemek yer+sin. ("You will eat dinner.")
- Men yemek yer+man. ("I will eat dinner.")
Similarly, it takes the suffix -di when the subject of the sentence is the third person singular ("he", "she", "it" in English) and -di+lar when the subject is plural ("they" in English).
For example:
- U yemek yer+di. ("He/She ate dinner.")
- Ular yemek ich+di+lar. ("They ate dinner.")
In the negative form, the suffix -maydi is used to decline the auxiliary verb bo'l-. So if you want to say "I won't eat dinner." you would say: "Men yemek yem+mA+y+man."
Some examples
Let's take a look at some examples using the future tense:
- Men yarın Ishga bo'lamAn. (I will go to work tomorrow.)
- Biz yoshimizga qaramay yo'lga qo'yishimiz mumkin. (We can put ourselves on the path regardless of our age.)
- Sen u bilan gaplash+ma+yin. (You will not speak to him.)
- U+lar uni chora+maydi+lar. (They will not abandon him.)
Notice that in the last two examples above that the "to be" verb is not used. This is because the auxiliary verb "bo'l-" performs the same function as "to be" in English.
Dialogue
Below is a dialogue to practice using the future tense:
- Person 1: Nima qil+ay(miz)? ("What will we do?")
- Person 2: Biz olmos+ga o'tir+amiz. ("We will go to the forest.")
Culture and interesting facts
Uzbekistan is known for its delicious food. Traditional Uzbek dishes include pilaf, somsa, and shashlik. Uzbek hospitality is legendary, and guests are often treated to large, extravagant feasts.
The country is also home to a wide range of stunning architecture and historical monuments such as The Registan in Samarkand, which is a complex of three ornate madrasahs (educational institutions) that date back to the 15th and 17th centuries.
