Welcome to today's lesson on using prepositions in the Tajik language! Prepositions are essential building blocks that help us understand the relationships between different parts of a sentence. They tell us where something is, when it happens, and how things are connected. Imagine trying to describe your favorite place without saying where it is—pretty tricky, right? In this lesson, we will explore the most common prepositions in Tajik, learn how to use them in sentences, and practice together to solidify your understanding.
 
So, why are prepositions important? In Tajik, as in English, they help clarify the context of our conversations. They enrich our language and make our communication clearer and more precise. By the end of this lesson, you will not only recognize these prepositions but also confidently use them in your daily conversations.
