Welcome to another exciting lesson in our "Complete 0 to A1 South Azerbaijani Course"! Today, we will dive into one of the fundamental aspects of South Azerbaijani grammar: the '''Subject-Object-Verb (SOV)''' word order. Understanding this structure is crucial as it forms the backbone of sentence construction in South Azerbaijani.
In English, we often use the Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order. For example, "I eat an apple." However, in South Azerbaijani, we would say "I an apple eat," which is quite different! This shift can feel a bit strange at first, but with practice, you'll find it becomes second nature.

In this lesson, we will cover:

South Azerbaijani is a Turkic language widely spoken in the South Caucasus region. As a complete beginner, it is important to understand the basic sentence structure of the language in order to start constructing basic phrases and sentences. In this lesson, we will explore the Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order in South Azerbaijani sentences.
=== Understanding Subject-Object-Verb Order ===
 
The Subject-Object-Verb order is a sentence structure where:
 
* '''Subject (S)''': Who or what the sentence is about
 
* '''Object (O)''': The entity that is acted upon
 
* '''Verb (V)''': The action being performed
 
This is a crucial grammar point because it influences how you understand and form sentences in South Azerbaijani.  
 
Here’s a simple breakdown:
 
* '''Subject''': The person or thing doing the action.
 
* '''Object''': The person or thing receiving the action.
 
* '''Verb''': The action itself.
 
Let’s look at a simple example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! South Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| Mən alma yeyirəm || mən ʔælˈmɑ jeˈjiɾɛm || I eat an apple
 
|}
 
In this sentence:
 
* '''Mən''' (I) is the Subject.
 
* '''alma''' (apple) is the Object.
 
* '''yeyirəm''' (eat) is the Verb.
 
Notice how the verb comes at the end of the sentence!
 
=== Examples of Subject-Object-Verb Order ===
 
To help you visualize this better, we will provide 20 examples of sentences in South Azerbaijani using the SOV structure.

== What is Subject-Object-Verb Word Order? ==
|-


Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) is a verbal sentence structure where the subject of a sentence comes first, then the object, and finally the verb. This word order is different from the default word order in English, which is Subject-Verb-Object (SVO). It is also different from other common Turkic languages such as Turkish and Uzbek, which follow the Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order.
| Sən bazara gedirsən || sæn bɑˈzɑːrɑ ˈɡeːdɪrˌsæn || You go to the market


In South Azerbaijani, the SOV order means that the subject is followed directly by the object, and then the verb is placed at the end of the sentence. Here's an example sentence to illustrate this:
|-


* South Azerbaijani: 𝐷𝑎𝑠 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟𝑖 𝑠𝑢 𝑔ə𝑙𝑝 𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑦𝑎𝑑𝑎𝑛.
| O pəncərə açır || oː pɛnˈdʒɛrɛ ˈɑːʧɪr || He opens the window


* Pronunciation: Das verkəri su gəlp istiyadan.
|-


* English: The salesman wants to drink water.
| Biz çiçəkləri suvarırıq || bɪz tʃɪˈtʃæklɛrɪ suːˈværɪrɪq || We water the flowers


Here, the sentence starts with the subject "the salesman" (𝐷𝑎𝑠 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟𝑖), followed by the object "water" (𝑠𝑢 𝑔ə𝑙𝑝), and then the verb "wants to drink" (𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑦𝑎𝑑𝑎𝑛) at the end.
|-


It is important to note that the verb itself may contain an object or a preposition. In these cases, the object or preposition may come before the verb, but the overall sentence structure still follows the SOV order.
| Siz yeməyi bişirirsiniz || sɪz jɛˈmɛːjɪ bɪʃɪˈrɪrˌsɪnɪz || You (plural) cook the meal


== Examples of South Azerbaijani Sentences using SOV ==
|-


Let's look at some more examples of South Azerbaijani sentences that follow the SOV word order.
| Onlar filmi izləyirlər || onˈlɑr fɪlˈmɪ ˈɪzlɛjɪr || They watch the film


=== Example 1 ===
|-


* South Azerbaijani: 𝑀ə𝑛 𝑚𝑒𝑞𝑑 𝑦𝑖𝑛 𝑐𝑖𝑔ə𝑟 𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑦𝑖𝑎.
| Mən dostumu çağırıram || mən dɔsˈtumʊ ˈtʃɑːɪrɪr || I call my friend


* Pronunciation: Men meqəd yin cıgır istiya.
|-


* English: I want to buy a book.
| Sən hədiyyəni açırsan || sæn hədɪˈjaːnɪ ˈɑːʧɪrˌsæn || You open the gift


Here, the sentence starts with the subject "I" (𝑀ə𝑛), followed by the object "book" (yin 𝑐𝑖𝑔ə𝑟), and then the verb "want to buy" (𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑦𝑖𝑎) at the end.
|-


=== Example 2 ===
| O şəkil çəkir || oː ʃɛˈkɪl ˈtʃɛkɪr || He draws a picture


* South Azerbaijani: 𝑃ə𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖 𝑣ə 𝑏𝑒𝑛𝑧𝑖𝑛𝑏 𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑦𝑎𝑑𝑎.
|}


* Pronunciation: Pəteri və benzin istiyada.
As you can see, the object always comes before the verb in every sentence. This consistent structure will help you as you begin to form your own sentences.


* English: Peter needs gasoline.
=== Practice Exercises ===


Here, the sentence starts with the subject "Peter" (𝑃ə𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖), followed by the object "gasoline" (və benzin), and then the verb "needs" (𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑦𝑎𝑑𝑎) at the end.
Now that we've covered the Subject-Object-Verb order and looked at many examples, it’s time for some practice! Here are 10 exercises to help you apply what you've learned.  


=== Example 3 ===
1. Translate the following English sentence into South Azerbaijani: "I drink milk."


* South Azerbaijani: 𝐿ü𝑡𝑓𝑖 𝑏𝑖𝑟 𝑠𝑢 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑟 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑎 𝑏𝑎𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑡 𝑦𝑒𝑦𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑟.
2. Translate the following English sentence into South Azerbaijani: "They play chess."


* Pronunciation: Lutfi bir su sinequur baba balit yeilir.
3. Write a South Azerbaijani sentence for the following: "You (singular) eat bread."


* English: Lutfi saw a red apple in the father's bag.
4. Form a South Azerbaijani sentence: "We see the stars."


Here, the sentence starts with the subject "Lutfi" (𝐿ü𝑡𝑓𝑖), followed by the object "apple" (bir su 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑟 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑎), and then the verb "saw" (𝑏𝑎𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑡) at the end.
5. Create a South Azerbaijani sentence from this: "She reads a newspaper."


== Conclusion ==
6. Translate this into South Azerbaijani: "You (plural) listen to the radio."


Understanding basic sentence structure is crucial for learning any language, and South Azerbaijani is no exception. In this lesson, we have explored the Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order in South Azerbaijani sentences, which is one of the fundamental characteristics of the language.

South Azerbaijani → Grammar → 0 to A1 Course → Subject-Object-Verb Order

Welcome to another exciting lesson in our "Complete 0 to A1 South Azerbaijani Course"! Today, we will dive into one of the fundamental aspects of South Azerbaijani grammar: the Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order. Understanding this structure is crucial as it forms the backbone of sentence construction in South Azerbaijani.

In English, we often use the Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order. For example, "I eat an apple." However, in South Azerbaijani, we would say "I an apple eat," which is quite different! This shift can feel a bit strange at first, but with practice, you'll find it becomes second nature.

In this lesson, we will cover:

  • The importance of SOV order in South Azerbaijani
  • Detailed explanations with examples
  • Practice exercises to reinforce what you've learned

So, let's get started with our exploration of this fascinating topic!

Understanding Subject-Object-Verb Order[edit | edit source]

The Subject-Object-Verb order is a sentence structure where:

  • Subject (S): Who or what the sentence is about
  • Object (O): The entity that is acted upon
  • Verb (V): The action being performed

This is a crucial grammar point because it influences how you understand and form sentences in South Azerbaijani.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

  • Subject: The person or thing doing the action.
  • Object: The person or thing receiving the action.
  • Verb: The action itself.

Let’s look at a simple example:

South Azerbaijani Pronunciation English
Mən alma yeyirəm mən ʔælˈmɑ jeˈjiɾɛm I eat an apple

In this sentence:

  • Mən (I) is the Subject.
  • alma (apple) is the Object.
  • yeyirəm (eat) is the Verb.

Notice how the verb comes at the end of the sentence!

Examples of Subject-Object-Verb Order[edit | edit source]

To help you visualize this better, we will provide 20 examples of sentences in South Azerbaijani using the SOV structure.
