The past tense is an essential verb tense in Tatar that is used to describe actions or events that happened in the past. In this lesson, you will learn how to conjugate regular and irregular verbs in the past tense and practice using them in sentences to talk about past actions and events.
=== Understanding the Past Tense in Tatar ===
 
The past tense in Tatar is used to describe actions that happened in the past. This can include anything from daily activities to significant events in your life.
 
In Tatar, the past tense is generally formed by modifying the verb stem. Regular verbs follow predictable patterns, while irregular verbs may not, requiring memorization.  


=== Regular Verbs Conjugation ===


<span link>Take a moment to explore these relevant pages as you conclude this lesson: [[Language/Tatar/Grammar/Prepositions|Prepositions]] & [[Language/Tatar/Grammar/Conjunctions|Conjunctions]].</span>
Regular verbs in Tatar typically follow a systematic approach. Here’s a simple breakdown of how to conjugate regular verbs in the past tense:
== Regular Past Tense Verbs ==


Regular past tense verbs in Tatar are formed by adding the suffix -ды (-) to the root of the verb for first- and second-person singular and third-person plural. For first- and second-person plural and third-person singular, the suffix -дык (-dık) is added instead. The table below shows examples of regular past tense verb conjugations:
1. For '''present tense''' verbs ending in -у (-u) or -ю (-yu), you usually replace these endings with -ды (-dy) or -де (-de) for the past tense.
 
2. The ending also changes based on the subject pronoun.
 
Here’s a table to illustrate this:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| йөрәгәм || yörägäm || I walked
 
| бардым || bardym || I went
 
|-
|-
| йөрәгәң || yörägäñ || You walked
 
| бардың || bardyng || You (singular) went
 
|-
|-
| йөрәгә || yörägä || He/She/It walked
 
| барды || bardy || He/She/It went
 
|-
|-
| йөрәгәк || yörägäk || We walked (exclusive)
 
| бардык || bardyk || We went
 
|-
|-
| йөрәгәмиз || yörägämiz || We walked (inclusive)
 
| бардыгыз || bardygyz || You (plural/formal) went
 
|-
|-
| йөрәгәңез || yörägäñez || You walked
 
| бардылар || bardylar || They went
 
|}
 
Let’s take a closer look at some '''examples''' of regular verbs conjugated in the past tense:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| укыдым || ukydym || I read
 
|-
 
| укыдың || ukydyng || You (singular) read
 
|-
 
| укыды || ukydy || He/She/It read
 
|-
 
| укыдык || ukydyk || We read
 
|-
|-
| йөрәгәләр || yörägälär || They walked
 
| укыдыгыз || ukydygyz || You (plural/formal) read
 
|-
 
| укыдылар || ukydylar || They read
 
|}
|}


As you can see from the table, the suffix -ды (-dı) or -дык (-dık) is added directly to the root of the verb. For example, the verb "йөрә- (yörä-)" means "to walk," and "йөрәгәм (yörägäm)" means "I walked."
=== Irregular Verbs Conjugation ===
 
Irregular verbs do not follow the standard rules of conjugation. Here, learning them can be a bit tricky, but with practice, it will become easier.  


To negate a regular past tense verb, the negative particle "мый (-mı)" is added before the past tense suffix. For example, "йөрәмыйдым (yörä-mı-ydım)" means "I did not walk."
For example, the verb "китү" (to leave) changes differently than regular verbs:


== Irregular Past Tense Verbs ==
{| class="wikitable"


Irregular past tense verbs in Tatar do not follow the standard pattern of adding the past tense suffix to the root of the verb. Instead, they have unique conjugations that must be memorized. Below are examples of some common irregular past tense verbs:
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| киттем || kittem || I left
 
|-
 
| киттең || kitting || You (singular) left
 
|-
 
| китте || kitte || He/She/It left
 
|-
 
| киттек || kittik || We left
 
|-
 
| киттегез || kitted || You (plural/formal) left
 
|-
 
| киттеләр || kittelar || They left
 
|}
 
Some other irregular verbs to note include:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

|-
| күрдем || kürdem || I saw
|-
|-
| кайтырдым || kaytırdım || I returned
 
| күрдең || kürdeñ || You (singular) saw
 
|-
 
| күрде || kürde || He/She/It saw
 
|-
|-
| сөйләшдем || söyleşdäm || I talked
 
| күрдек || kürdek || We saw
 
|-
|-
| етепки || etepki || Was (He/She/It was)
 
| күрдегез || kürdegez || You (plural/formal) saw
 
|-
|-
| миндәйме || mindäyme || Have (I have)
 
| күрделәр || kürdelär || They saw
 
|}
|}


As you can see from the table, irregular past tense verbs can vary widely in their form and pronunciation.
=== Using Past Tense in Sentences ===
 
Now that you know how to conjugate verbs in the past tense, let's look at how to use them in sentences. Here are some examples:
 
1. '''Мин мәктәпкә бардым.''' 
 
''Min mäktäpka bardym.'' 
 
''I went to school.''
 
2. '''Син китап укыдың.''' 
 
''Sin kitap ukydyng.'' 
 
''You read a book.''
 
3. '''Аның белән кино күрдек.''' 
 
''Anıñ belän kino kürdek.'' 
 
''We watched a movie with him/her.''
 
4. '''Ул урамда йөрде.''' 
 
''Ul uramda yörde.'' 
 
''He/She walked in the street.''
 
5. '''Без ресторанда ашадık.''' 
 
''Bez restoran'da aşadık.'' 
 
''We ate at the restaurant.''
 
6. '''Сез кичә җыелышта булдыңыз.''' 
 
''Sez kiçä cıyılışta buldyngız.'' 
 
''You (plural/formal) were at the meeting yesterday.''
 
7. '''Мин узган атнада ял иттем.''' 
 
''Min uzğan atnada yal ittem.'' 
 
''I rested last week.''
 
8. '''Алар балалар белән уйнадылар.''' 
 
''Alar balalar belän uynadılar.'' 
 
''They played with the children.''
 
9. '''Синең дустың китап сатып алды.''' 
 
''Sineñ dustıñ kitap satıp aldı.'' 
 
''Your friend bought a book.''
 
10. '''Ул кечкенә вакытта бик күп сәяхәт итте.''' 


To negate an irregular past tense verb, the negative particle "мый (-mı)" is placed before the verb. For example, "кайтырмыйдым (kaytırmıydım)" means "I did not return."
''Ul keçkenä waqıtta bik küp säyäxät itte.'' 


== Using Past Tense Verbs in Sentences ==
''He/She traveled a lot when he/she was little.''


To use past tense verbs in sentences, you need to follow the standard Tatar word order of Subject-Object-Verb (SOV). For example:
=== Practice Exercises ===


* Мин бәшәдә бардым. (Min bäşädä bardım.) - I went to the park.
Now it’s time to practice what you’ve learned! Below are exercises designed to reinforce your understanding of the past tense in Tatar.  
* Акыллылар спорт залына кирәгә чыгарганлар. (Akıllılar sport zalına kirägä çığırganlar.) - The smart ones went to the gym.


You can also use time expressions to specify exactly when the action or event took place. For example:
1. '''Conjugate the following verbs in the past tense:''' 


* Ушак бер чөкләткәндә китап юклады. (Uşaq ber çöklätkände kitap yukladı.) - The child lost the book yesterday.
a. '''йөрү''' (to walk)
* Бугән мен Ирода булаңнан килдим. (Bugän men Irada bulañnan kildim) - I came from Irada's house today.


It is important to remember that in Tatar, the verb needs to agree with the subject of the sentence in terms of number and person. For example:
b. '''ярату''' (to love) 


* Мин урамда бекетесем, яшергә җырав. (Min uramda bekätesem, yaşergä çıraw.) - If I had free time, I would go to the cinema. (Notice the first-person singular verb "бекетесем (bekätesem)" agreeing with "мин (min)").
c. '''эшләү''' (to work)


== Practice ==
d. '''сөйләү''' (to speak)

TatarGrammar0 to A1 Course → Past Tense

In this lesson, we will explore the past tense in Tatar, a fundamental aspect of the language that allows you to express actions and events that have already occurred. Understanding how to use the past tense is crucial for effective communication, as it helps narrate experiences, recount stories, and share memories.

We will cover both regular and irregular verbs, illustrating how they are conjugated in the past tense. By the end of this lesson, you'll not only know how to form past tense verbs but also how to use them in sentences to convey your thoughts and experiences.

The structure of this lesson will include:

  • An explanation of the past tense in Tatar
  • Conjugation rules for regular and irregular verbs
  • A range of examples to illustrate each point
  • Practice exercises to solidify your understanding

Understanding the Past Tense in Tatar[edit | edit source]

The past tense in Tatar is used to describe actions that happened in the past. This can include anything from daily activities to significant events in your life.

In Tatar, the past tense is generally formed by modifying the verb stem. Regular verbs follow predictable patterns, while irregular verbs may not, requiring memorization.

Regular Verbs Conjugation[edit | edit source]

Regular verbs in Tatar typically follow a systematic approach. Here’s a simple breakdown of how to conjugate regular verbs in the past tense:

1. For present tense verbs ending in -у (-u) or -ю (-yu), you usually replace these endings with -ды (-dy) or -де (-de) for the past tense.

2. The ending also changes based on the subject pronoun.

Here’s a table to illustrate this:

Tatar Pronunciation English
бардым bardym I went
бардың bardyng You (singular) went
барды bardy He/She/It went
бардык bardyk We went
бардыгыз bardygyz You (plural/formal) went
бардылар bardylar They went

Let’s take a closer look at some examples of regular verbs conjugated in the past tense:

Tatar Pronunciation English
укыдым ukydym I read
укыдың ukydyng You (singular) read
укыды ukydy He/She/It read
укыдык ukydyk We read
укыдыгыз ukydygyz You (plural/formal) read
укыдылар ukydylar They read

Irregular Verbs Conjugation[edit | edit source]

Irregular verbs do not follow the standard rules of conjugation. Here, learning them can be a bit tricky, but with practice, it will become easier.

For example, the verb "китү" (to leave) changes differently than regular verbs:

Tatar Pronunciation English
киттем kittem I left
киттең kitting You (singular) left
китте kitte He/She/It left
киттек kittik We left
киттегез kitted You (plural/formal) left
киттеләр kittelar They left

Some other irregular verbs to note include:

Tatar Pronunciation English
күрдем kürdem I saw
күрдең kürdeñ You (singular) saw
күрде kürde He/She/It saw
күрдек kürdek We saw
күрдегез kürdegez You (plural/formal) saw
күрделәр kürdelär They saw

6. Сез кичә җыелышта булдыңыз.

I rested last week.

8. Алар балалар белән уйнадылар.
