Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/northern-uzbek Northern Uzbek] learners! 😊
 
In this lesson, we will focus on questions in Northern Uzbek language. Asking questions is an essential part of communication, so it's important to know how to form them correctly. We will cover the basic question words, as well as some grammar rules you should keep in mind.
 
__TOC__

== Types of Questions ==
There are two main types of questions in Northern Uzbek: yes/no questions and wh-questions.


=== Yes/No Questions ===
Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with either a yes or a no. These types of questions usually start with a verb, such as "do", "can", "will", etc. For example:


* Do you understand?

* Can you speak Northern Uzbek?  
== Basic question words ==
* Will you come to class tomorrow?  
 
To form a question in Northern Uzbek, you usually start with a question word. Here are the most common ones:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Northern Uzbek !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| kim? || /kim/ || who?
|-
| nima? || /nimɑ/ || what?
|-
| qayerda? || /qɑjer.dɑ/ || where?
|-
| qalaysiz? || /qɑlɑj.siz/ || how?
|-
| qancha? || /qɑn.tʃɑ/ || how much/many?
|-
| qaysi? || /qɑj.si/ || which?
|}
 
These words can be used in various contexts to ask different types of questions. For example:
 
* Kim bu? (Who is this?)
* Nima gap? (What's up?)
* Qayerda yashaysiz? (Where do you live?)
* Qalaysiz? (How are you?)
* Qancha pulingiz bor? (How much money do you have?)
* Qaysi kitobni o'qiyaptilar? (Which book are they reading?)
 
Note that there are different ways to ask questions in Northern Uzbek. Sometimes you can simply change the intonation of a sentence to turn it into a question, without using a question word. For example, "Siz oqishingiz mumkin" (You can read) can become "Siz oqishingiz mumkinmi?" (Can you read?) by raising your voice at the end.
 
== Grammar rules ==
 
In some cases, when you ask a question in Northern Uzbek, you need to change the structure of the sentence. Here are a few grammar rules to keep in mind:
 
=== Making questions with "bormi" ===
 
One way to form a question in Northern Uzbek is to add "bormi" at the end of a statement. "Bormi" means "is there" or "are there". For example:
 
* Uyda kitob bor. (There is a book at home.)
* Uyda kitob bormi? (Is there a book at home?)
 
Notice that in the second sentence, the word order has changed, with "kitob" coming before "bormi". This is a common way to form questions in Northern Uzbek.
 
=== Making questions with "mi" and "ma" ===
 
Another way to form a question in Northern Uzbek is to add "mi" or "ma" at the end of a sentence, depending on the vowel harmony. "Mi" is added to words with front vowels (i, e, ö, ü) and "ma" is added to words with back vowels (a, o, u). For example:
 
* Siz o'qiyapsizmi? (Do you study?)
* Men yashamanmi? (Do I live?)
 
Notice that the word order is the same as in the corresponding statements, and only the final particle changes.
 
=== Negative questions ===
 
In Northern Uzbek, you can also ask negative questions, which are questions that stress the negative form of a verb or adjective. To form a negative question, you can use the particle "emasmi" at the end of a sentence. For example:
 
* Bugun darsga kelmasangizmi? (Won't you come to class today?)
* U ko'rmaganmi? (Didn't he see it?)
 
=== Indirect questions ===
 
Finally, you may sometimes need to ask indirect questions, which are questions that are embedded in a larger sentence. In Northern Uzbek, you can use the "mi" and "ma" particles for this purpose as well. For example:
 
* Men uning nechta bola borligini bilmoqchiman. (I want to know how many children he has.)
* Ijtimoiy tarmoqlarda kimlarning ko'pligi adolatsizlik bilan bog'liqmi? (Is the high number of people on social media connected to injustice?)


=== Wh-Questions ===
== Dialogue ==
Wh-questions are questions that start with a wh-word, such as "what", "where", "when", etc. These types of questions usually require more information than yes/no questions. For example:


* What is your name?
To help you practice Northern Uzbek questions, here's a short dialogue between two friends:
* Where do you live?
* When did you learn Northern Uzbek?


== Grammar Rules ==
* Odil: Senga qaysi kitob yoqadi?
When asking questions in Northern Uzbek, there are a few grammar rules that you need to keep in mind.  
* Dilnoza: Men aksiyoniyalar guruhi kitoblarini ko'proq yaxshi ko'raman. Sizga qaysi yaxshi?
* Odil: Men murakkab romanlarni joriy etaman.
* Dilnoza: Nima uchun? Siz uchrashuvchilardan kelganda o'qiyapsizmi?
* Odil: Ha, men biroz oqimaga qiziqaman.


=== Word Order ===
Odil: Which book do you like?
The word order for questions in Northern Uzbek is different from the word order for statements. In questions, the verb comes first, followed by the subject. For example:
Dilnoza: I like action books more. Which one do you like?
Odil: I'm into complex novels.
Dilnoza: Why? Do you read them when you meet with friends?
Odil: Yes, I'm a bit interested in reading.


* Statements: I understand Northern Uzbek.  
== Sources ==
* Questions: Understand you Northern Uzbek?

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzbekistan Uzbekistan]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzbekistan_culture Uzbek culture]


=== Intonation ===

Intonation is also important when asking questions in Northern Uzbek. The intonation should rise at the end of the question, to indicate that it is a question. For example:


* Statement: You understand Northern Uzbek.
{{#seo:
* Question: You understand Northern Uzbek?
