Relative clauses are an important and powerful tool in the Northern Uzbek language. They allow us to create complex sentences with multiple clauses, providing additional information about a noun or pronoun in the main clause. In this lesson, you will learn how to use relative pronouns to construct these kinds of sentences.
=== What are Relative Clauses? ===


== What are Relative Clauses? ==
Relative clauses are a type of dependent clause that provide additional information about a noun in the main clause. In simpler terms, they help us describe or specify something without having to start a new sentence.


A relative clause is a type of subordinate clause that modifies a noun or pronoun in the main clause. It provides additional information about the noun or pronoun, such as its identity or characteristics. The relative clause usually starts with a relative pronoun, such as <i>kim</i> (who), <i>nima</i> (what), <i>ku</i> (which), or <i>qaysi</i> (which).
For example:


For example, consider the following sentence:
* "The man who is wearing a hat is my uncle."


<i>Bola kitob o'qiyotgan yigit movarida hayot bilan shug'ullanadi.</i>
In this sentence, "who is wearing a hat" is the relative clause that gives us more information about "the man."


Here, the main clause is <i>Bola movarida hayot bilan shug'ullanadi</i>, which means "The boy is busy with life in the environment." We can add a relative clause to this sentence to provide additional information about <i>yigit</i> (boy), such as who he is or what he is doing:
=== The Function of Relative Pronouns ===


<i>Bola, kitob o'qiyotgan yigit, movarida hayot bilan shug'ullanadi.</i>
In Northern Uzbek, relative clauses often begin with relative pronouns. The most common relative pronouns are:


Now, the sentence means "The boy who is reading a book is busy with life in the environment."
* '''kim''' (who)


In Northern Uzbek, relative clauses can be used to modify any noun or pronoun in the main clause, not only the subject.
* '''nima''' (what)


== How to Form Relative Clauses in Northern Uzbek ==
* '''qayerda''' (where)


To form a relative clause in Northern Uzbek, follow these simple steps:
* '''qachon''' (when)


# Identify the noun or pronoun that you want to modify in the main clause.
These pronouns help us connect the clause to the noun we are describing.  
# Choose the appropriate relative pronoun based on the noun or pronoun's grammatical role in the relative clause (e.g. subject, object, possessive, etc.).
# Insert the relative pronoun at the beginning of the relative clause.
# Conjugate the verb in the relative clause according to the tense and aspect of the main clause.


Let's look at an example:
=== How to Form Relative Clauses in Northern Uzbek ===


<i>Men, tashrif buyurgan avvalgi chet elga sayohat qilgan odamman.</i>
Creating relative clauses in Northern Uzbek is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:


This sentence means "I am a person who has traveled abroad before." Here, the main clause is <i>Men odamman</i> (I am a person), and we want to add a relative clause to provide more information about this person. We can do this by following the steps above:
1. '''Identify the noun''' you want to describe.


# The noun we want to modify is <i>odam</i> (person).
2. '''Choose the appropriate relative pronoun''' based on the noun's characteristics.
# We use the relative pronoun <i>ku</i> (which) because <i>odam</i> is the object of the relative clause.
# We insert the relative pronoun at the beginning of the relative clause: <i>ku men tashrif buyurgan avvalgi chet elga sayohat qilgan</i> (which I have traveled abroad before).
# We conjugate the verb in the relative clause in the past tense to agree with the tense of the main clause.


The final sentence is: <i>Men, ku tashrif buyurgan avvalgi chet elga sayohat qilgan odamman.</i>
3. '''Add the relative clause''' after the noun to provide more context.


== Relative Pronouns in Northern Uzbek ==
Let's look at some examples to clarify this process.


Here are some of the most common relative pronouns used in Northern Uzbek:
{| class="wikitable"


* <b>kim</b> - who, whom
! Northern Uzbek !! Pronunciation !! English
* <b>nima</b> - what, whatever
* <b>ku</b> - which
* <b>qaysi</b> - which


Relative pronouns decline in the same way as other pronouns in Northern Uzbek. Here is a table showing the declension of the relative pronoun <i>kim</i>:
|-

Relative clauses are a type of dependent clause that provide additional information about a noun in the main clause. In simpler terms, they help us describe or specify something without having to start a new sentence.

In Northern Uzbek, relative clauses often begin with relative pronouns. The most common relative pronouns are:

  • kim (who)
  • nima (what)
  • qayerda (where)

These pronouns help us connect the clause to the noun we are describing.
