Introduction
Welcome to the lesson on Tatar sentence structure! In this lesson, you will learn the basic sentence structure of the Tatar language, which is known as the Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to construct simple sentences using the correct word order.
Tatar is a Turkic language spoken by approximately 7 million people primarily in Tatarstan and other regions of Russia. It is also spoken in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and other Central Asian countries. Familiarity with Tatar sentence structure is an essential step for beginners to communicate effectively in Tatar.

Sentence Structure
The basic sentence structure in Tatar follows the Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order, which means the sentence starts with a subject, followed by a verb, and ends with an object. For instance, "әйел гасырда бәхетле икән" ("The woman was happy yesterday") follows the SVO order in Tatar. Here, "әйел" (woman) is the subject, "бәхетле" (happy) is the verb, and "гасырда" (yesterday) is the object.
The subject of a sentence in Tatar usually comes at the beginning, followed by the verb and the object. But there can be exceptions to this rule where the object of a sentence may be spoken before the verb. Such sentence construction typically occurs in Tatar if the object is a personal pronoun or follows the verb.
Here are a few examples to help you understand the sentence structure:
Tatar | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
Мин асыл идем. | Min asıl idem. | I am a good student. |
Авыр бара. | Avır vara. | The dog is running. |
Эка теләнүен яратам. | Eka teleñüen yaratam. | I create with two languages. |
Безнәң дурт яшәгеҙ еләндә туры. | Beznäñ durt yaşägez elände tury. | We live in four seasons. |
In Tatar sentence structure, the word order changes in question form. When writing a sentence as a question, the verb is typically placed at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the subject, and the object comes last. Additionally, adding a question word such as "ким" (who), "җәйгә" (where), or "якшә" (how) can help frame a clear sentence.
Here are some examples of questions in Tatar:
Tatar | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
Ким былачакча бәшә? | Kim bılaçaqça bäşä? | Who is coming tomorrow? |
Якшә тең генә? | Yaqşä tän genä? | How are you feeling? |
Как нарын сагарап килгеләр? | Kak narın sağarap kilgelär? | How do you come to school every day? |
It's essential to practice copying sentences and questions, translating them to your preferred language, and to understand the difference between the two.
