Let's dive in and explore the fascinating world of the present tense in Northern Uzbek!

Conjugation of Regular Verbs[edit | edit source]

In Northern Uzbek, regular verbs follow a consistent pattern when conjugated in the present tense. To form the present tense of regular verbs, we remove the infinitive ending (-mek or -mak) and add the appropriate suffixes based on the subject pronoun. Let's take a look at the conjugation of the verb "suhbat qilmoq" (to talk) as an example:

Northern Uzbek	Pronunciation	English
suhbat qilmoqman	[suh-baht keel-mohk-mahn]	I talk
suhbat qilmoqsan	[suh-baht keel-mohk-sahn]	You talk (singular)
suhbat qilmoq	[suh-baht keel-mohk]	He/she/it talks
suhbat qilmoqmiz	[suh-baht keel-mohk-meesh]	We talk
suhbat qilmoqsiz	[suh-baht keel-mohk-seez]	You talk (plural)
suhbat qilmoqlar	[suh-baht keel-mohk-lahr]	They talk

As you can see, the suffixes added to the verb stem vary depending on the subject pronoun. These suffixes indicate the person, number, and gender of the subject. Pay attention to the vowel harmony in Northern Uzbek, as it affects the choice of vowel in the suffixes. Practice conjugating other regular verbs in the present tense to reinforce your understanding of the conjugation patterns.

Conjugation of Irregular Verbs[edit | edit source]

In addition to regular verbs, Northern Uzbek also has a number of irregular verbs that do not follow the standard conjugation patterns. These verbs have unique forms in the present tense and must be memorized individually. Let's explore a few examples of irregular verbs in the present tense:

Northern Uzbek	Pronunciation	English
kelmoqman	[keel-mohk-mahn]	I come
kelmaysan	[keel-migh-sahn]	You don't come
kelayotgan	[ke-lah-yoat-gahn]	He/she/it is coming
kelmokmiz	[kehl-mohk-meez]	We come
kelmasiz	[kehl-mah-seez]	You don't come
kelayotganlar	[ke-lah-yoat-gahn-lahr]	They are coming

In the above examples, notice how the irregular verbs have unique forms for each subject pronoun. It's important to familiarize yourself with the irregular verbs in Northern Uzbek and practice using them in sentences to become comfortable with their conjugation.
