<h1>Introduction</h1>
== Introduction ==
In this lesson, we will delve into the present tense in the South Azerbaijani language. The present tense is used to talk about actions happening now or habitual actions. It is an essential aspect of the language as it allows us to express ourselves in the present moment. We will learn how to form the present tense, understand its usage, and explore different verb conjugations.


Welcome to the "Complete 0 to A1 South Azerbaijani Course"! In this lesson, we will learn about the present tense in South Azerbaijani, which is an important verb tense used to talk about actions happening now or habits.
== Forming the Present Tense ==
To form the present tense in South Azerbaijani, we usually add specific suffixes to the verb stem. The suffixes vary depending on the subject pronoun and the verb type. Let's take a look at the conjugation of regular verbs in the present tense:


In South Azerbaijani, verbs are usually expressed in the present tense unless there is a need to express past or future events. The present tense is formed by attaching different suffixes to the present stem of the verb. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to form and use the present tense properly.
=== Regular Verb Conjugation ===
Regular verbs in South Azerbaijani follow a predictable pattern in the present tense. We will use the verb "görmək" (to see) as an example:


<h1>Formation of the Present Tense</h1>
{| class="wikitable"
! South Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Mən görəm || men goh-REM || I see
|-
| Sən görəsən || sen goh-REH-sen || You see
|-
| O görər || oh goh-RER || He/She sees
|-
| Biz görərik || biz goh-REH-rik || We see
|-
| Siz görəsiniz || siz goh-REH-see-neez || You see (plural/formal)
|-
| Onlar görərlər || on-lar goh-RER-ler || They see
|}


The present tense is formed by adding different suffixes to the present stem of the verb. The present stem is the verb without the infinitive ending "-maq". The suffixes depend on the person and the number of the subject, as well as the vowel harmony rules.  
As you can see from the table, the verb "görmək" is conjugated differently for each subject pronoun. The verb stem remains the same, and we add specific suffixes to indicate the subject.


Here are the suffixes used in the present tense:
=== Irregular Verb Conjugation ===
Not all verbs follow the regular conjugation pattern in the present tense. Some verbs have irregular conjugations, and they must be memorized individually. Let's take a look at the verb "etmək" (to do) as an example:


<table class="wikitable">
{| class="wikitable"
  <tr>
! South Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
    <th>Person and Number</th>
|-
    <th>Suffix</th>
| Mən edirəm || men eh-dee-REM || I do
  </tr>
|-
  <tr>
| Sən edirsən || sen eh-DEER-sen || You do
    <td>1st person singular (I)</td>
|-
    <td>-am/-əm (-em/-ım with negative)</td>
| O edir || oh eh-DEER || He/She does
  </tr>
|-
  <tr>
| Biz edirik || biz eh-DEER-ik || We do
    <td>2nd person singular (you)</td>
|-
    <td>-san/-əsən (-sən/-sın with negative)</td>
| Siz edirsiniz || siz eh-DEER-see-neez || You do (plural/formal)
  </tr>
|-
  <tr>
| Onlar edirlər || on-lar eh-DEER-ler || They do
    <td>3rd person singular (he/she/it)</td>
|}
    <td>-dir/-dır (-dır/-dər with negative)</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>1st person plural (we)</td>
    <td>-ıq/-ik (-ik/-ük with negative)</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>2nd person plural (you)</td>
    <td>-sınız/-siz (-(i)niz/-siniz with negative)</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>3rd person plural (they)</td>
    <td>-lər/-lar (-lar/-lər with negative)</td>
  </tr>
</table>
