Overview of Subject Pronouns[edit | edit source]

In Northern Uzbek, subject pronouns are used to indicate who is performing the action of the verb. Here are the basic subject pronouns:

Northern Uzbek	Pronunciation	English
men	men	I
sen	sen	you (singular)
u	u	he/she/it
biz	biz	we
siz	siz	you (plural/formal)
ular	ular	they

It's essential to remember these pronouns because they will help you in forming sentences correctly.

Subject-Verb Agreement Rules[edit | edit source]

In Northern Uzbek, verbs change form based on the subject pronoun used. Here’s how it works:

Singular Subjects:

"men" (I) pairs with the verb form that ends in -man.

"sen" (you) pairs with the verb form that ends in -san.

"u" (he/she/it) pairs with the verb form that ends in -dir or -mi.

Plural Subjects:

"biz" (we) pairs with the verb form that ends in -miz.

"siz" (you plural/formal) pairs with the verb form that ends in -siz.

"ular" (they) pairs with the verb form that ends in -dir or -di.

This indicates that the verb must reflect the subject’s number and person.

Examples of Subject-Verb Agreement[edit | edit source]

Now, let’s look at some examples to illustrate how subject-verb agreement works in Northern Uzbek.

Northern Uzbek	Pronunciation	English
Men kitob o'qiman.	Men kiˈtob oˈqiman.	I read a book.
