In Northern Uzbek, verbs conjugate based on the subject pronoun, which is different from English. This adds a layer of complexity, but with practice, you will find it manageable and intuitive.
 
=== Conjugation of Regular Verbs ===


Welcome to the lesson on the present tense in Northern Uzbek! In this lesson, we will learn how to conjugate verbs in the present tense and use them in everyday situations. The present tense is a fundamental aspect of any language, as it allows us to talk about events happening right now or in general. By mastering the present tense, you will be able to express yourself effectively in Northern Uzbek and have basic conversations with native speakers.
Regular verbs in Northern Uzbek follow predictable patterns when conjugated into the present tense. Below, we'll break down the steps for conjugating regular verbs.


Throughout this lesson, we will explore the conjugation patterns of regular and irregular verbs in the present tense.

By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of the present tense and be able to apply it confidently in your Northern Uzbek conversations.

Let's dive in and explore the fascinating world of the present tense in Northern Uzbek!
2. '''Add present tense endings''': Depending on the subject pronoun, add the appropriate ending to the verb stem.


== Conjugation of Regular Verbs ==
Here are the present tense endings:


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:
* '''Men (I)''': -man
 
* '''Sen (You, singular)''': -san
 
* '''U (He/She/It)''': -dir
 
* '''Biz (We)''': -miz
 
* '''Siz (You, plural/formal)''': -siz
 
* '''Ular (They)''': -dilar
 
Let’s illustrate this with a few examples of regular verbs:
