== Introduction to the Past Tense ==


The past tense in Kirghiz is used to refer to actions, events, or states that have already taken place in the past. It allows us to talk about what happened before the present moment. In Kirghiz, the past tense is formed by adding specific suffixes to the verb stem. These suffixes indicate the subject of the sentence and the tense.

== Conjugating Verbs in the Past Tense ==
== Regular Verbs in the Past Tense ==


To conjugate regular verbs in the past tense, all you have to do is add the appropriate past tense ending to the verb stem. These endings vary depending on the person (first, second, or third) and number (singular or plural). Here is the basic structure for conjugating regular verbs in the past tense:
To conjugate regular verbs in the past tense, we need to add specific suffixes to the verb stem based on the subject of the sentence. Kirghiz verbs are divided into three conjugation groups: Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3. Each group has its own set of rules for conjugating verbs in the past tense.


Verb stem + Past tense ending
Let's take a look at the conjugation patterns for each group:


=== Past Tense Endings ===
=== Group 1 Verbs ===


Here is a table that shows the past tense endings for regular Kirghiz verbs:
Group 1 verbs in Kirghiz end in -уу, -уул, -ууш, -ууз, or -уулар. To conjugate Group 1 verbs in the past tense, we remove the -уу ending and add the following suffixes based on the subject:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Person !! Singular !! Plural
! Subject !! Suffix
|-
| I || -м
|-
| You (singular) || -сиң
|-
| He/She/It || -
|-
|-
| 1st (I, we) || -дым (-дим) || -дык (-дик)
| We || -быз
|-
|-
| 2nd (you) || -дың (-диң) || -дыңыз (-диңиз)
| You (plural) || -сиңдер
|-
|-
| 3rd (he, she, it, they) || -ды (-ди) || -ды (-ди)
| They || -
|}
|}
Note that there are two different endings for each person — one for verbs with back vowels (а, о, у, ы) and one for verbs with front vowels (е, и, ө, ү).


Let's see some examples:
For example:
 
* Көрүү (to see) becomes Көрдүм (I saw)
* Сатуу (to sell) becomes Саттың (You sold)
* Окуу (to read) becomes Окту (He/She/It read)
* Көркөмүз (to see) becomes Көргөбүз (We saw)
* Салуу (to give) becomes Салдыңдар (You gave)
* Келүү (to come) becomes Келди (They came)
 
=== Group 2 Verbs ===
 
Group 2 verbs in Kirghiz end in -ма, -мө, -ба, or -бө. To conjugate Group 2 verbs in the past tense, we remove the -ма or -ба ending and add the following suffixes based on the subject:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Kirghiz !! Pronunciation !! English
! Subject !! Suffix
|-
|-
| Мен жаздым  || Men jazdım || I wrote
| I || -мын
|-
|-
| Сен жаздың || Sen jazdıñ || You wrote
| You (singular) || -сың
|-
|-
| Ал жазды || Al jazdı || He/She/It wrote
| He/She/It || -
|-
|-
| Биз жаздык || Biz jazdık || We wrote
| We || -быз
|-
|-
| Силер жаздыңыз || Siler jazdıñız || You all wrote
| You (plural) || -сыңдар
|-
|-
| Алар жазды || Alar jazdı || They wrote
| They || -
|}
|}


== Irregular Verbs in the Past Tense ==
For example:
 
* Алма (to buy) becomes Алмамын (I bought)
* Жазма (to write) becomes Жазмасың (You wrote)
* Окума (to read) becomes Окөбүз (We read)
* Жатма (to sit) becomes Жатмасыңдар (You sat)
* Көрбөйт (to see) becomes Көрбөйт (They saw)
 
=== Group 3 Verbs ===
 
Group 3 verbs in Kirghiz are irregular and do not follow a specific pattern. They require individual conjugation based on the verb itself. It is important to memorize the conjugation of these verbs in the past tense.
 
For example:
 
* Болуу (to be) becomes Болдум (I was)
* Келүү (to come) becomes Келдим (I came)
* Жатуу (to sit) becomes Жаттым (I sat)
* Жазуу (to write) becomes Жаздым (I wrote)
* Окуу (to read) becomes Октодум (I read)


While most verbs in Kirghiz follow the pattern described above, there are some irregular verbs that conjugate a bit differently. Some common irregular verbs in the past tense include:
== Forming Affirmative Sentences in the Past Tense ==


* баруу (to go)
To form an affirmative sentence in the past tense, we need to conjugate the verb in agreement with the subject and add the necessary suffixes. Here are some examples:
* келүү (to come)
* көрүү (to see)


Here is a table that shows the past tense conjugation for these irregular verbs:
* Мен Көрдүм. (I saw.)
* Сен Саттың. (You sold.)
* Ал Окту. (He/She/It read.)
* Биз Көргөбүз. (We saw.)
* Сиз Салдыңдар. (You gave.)
* Алар Келди. (They came.)


{| class="wikitable"
== Forming Negative Sentences in the Past Tense ==
! Verb !! 1st singular !! 2nd singular !! 3rd singular !! 1st plural !! 2nd plural !! 3rd plural
 
|-
To form a negative sentence in the past tense, we need to use the negative particle "эмес" after the subject and before the conjugated verb. Here are some examples:
| баруу || бардым || бардың || барды || бардык || бардыңыз || барды
 
|-
* Мен Көрбөймөн. (I did not see.)
| келүү || келдим || келдиң || келди || келдик || келдиңиз || келди
* Сен Сатбайсың. (You did not sell.)
|-
* Ал Окуп эмес. (He/She/It did not read.)
| көрүү || көрдүм || көрдүң || көрдү || көрдүк || көрдүңүз || көрдү
* Биз Көрбөйбүз. (We did not see.)
|}
* Сиз Салбайсыздар. (You did not give.)
* Алар Келбейт. (They did not come.)
 
== Forming Interrogative Sentences in the Past Tense ==
 
To form an interrogative sentence in the past tense, we need to use the question particle "булса" at the end of the sentence. Here are some examples:


+ Practice forming simple past tense sentences with these irregular verbs.
* Көрдүңбү? (Did you see?)
* Саттыңбы? (Did you sell?)
* Окуп эми? (Did he/she/it read?)
* Көргөбүзбү? (Did we see?)
* Салбайсыздарбы? (Did you give?)
* Келбейтби? (Did they come?)


Now that we know how to conjugate regular and irregular verbs in the past tense, let's practice forming affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences.
== Cultural Insights: Historical Events ==


== Affirmative Sentences in the Past Tense ==
The past tense allows us to talk about historical events and reflect on the rich cultural heritage of the Kirghiz people. One significant historical event in Kirghiz history is the Manas Epic, a heroic epic poem that tells the story of the legendary hero Manas. The epic is considered one of the world's longest epic poems and is an essential part of Kirghiz culture.


To form an affirmative sentence in the past tense, you simply need to conjugate the verb and place it at the end of the sentence, following the subject-object-verb order.
Another important historical event is the Soviet era, which had a significant impact on the Kirghiz people. During this time, the Kirghiz language was written in the Cyrillic script, and Russian became the dominant language in many spheres of life. However, since gaining independence, there has been a renewed focus on preserving and promoting the Kirghiz language and culture.

Introduction to the Past Tense[edit | edit source]

The past tense in Kirghiz is used to refer to actions, events, or states that have already taken place in the past. It allows us to talk about what happened before the present moment. In Kirghiz, the past tense is formed by adding specific suffixes to the verb stem. These suffixes indicate the subject of the sentence and the tense.

Conjugating Verbs in the Past Tense[edit | edit source]

To conjugate regular verbs in the past tense, we need to add specific suffixes to the verb stem based on the subject of the sentence. Kirghiz verbs are divided into three conjugation groups: Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3. Each group has its own set of rules for conjugating verbs in the past tense.

Let's take a look at the conjugation patterns for each group:

Group 1 Verbs[edit | edit source]

Group 1 verbs in Kirghiz end in -уу, -уул, -ууш, -ууз, or -уулар. To conjugate Group 1 verbs in the past tense, we remove the -уу ending and add the following suffixes based on the subject:

Subject Suffix
I -м
You (singular) -сиң
He/She/It -
We -быз
You (plural) -сиңдер
They -

For example:

  • Көрүү (to see) becomes Көрдүм (I saw)
  • Сатуу (to sell) becomes Саттың (You sold)
  • Окуу (to read) becomes Окту (He/She/It read)
  • Көркөмүз (to see) becomes Көргөбүз (We saw)
  • Салуу (to give) becomes Салдыңдар (You gave)
  • Келүү (to come) becomes Келди (They came)

Group 2 Verbs[edit | edit source]

Group 2 verbs in Kirghiz end in -ма, -мө, -ба, or -бө. To conjugate Group 2 verbs in the past tense, we remove the -ма or -ба ending and add the following suffixes based on the subject:

Subject Suffix
I -мын
You (singular) -сың
He/She/It -
We -быз
You (plural) -сыңдар
They -

For example:

  • Алма (to buy) becomes Алмамын (I bought)
  • Жазма (to write) becomes Жазмасың (You wrote)
  • Окума (to read) becomes Окөбүз (We read)
  • Жатма (to sit) becomes Жатмасыңдар (You sat)
  • Көрбөйт (to see) becomes Көрбөйт (They saw)

Group 3 Verbs[edit | edit source]

Group 3 verbs in Kirghiz are irregular and do not follow a specific pattern. They require individual conjugation based on the verb itself. It is important to memorize the conjugation of these verbs in the past tense.

For example:

  • Болуу (to be) becomes Болдум (I was)
  • Келүү (to come) becomes Келдим (I came)
  • Жатуу (to sit) becomes Жаттым (I sat)
  • Жазуу (to write) becomes Жаздым (I wrote)
  • Окуу (to read) becomes Октодум (I read)

Forming Affirmative Sentences in the Past Tense[edit | edit source]

To form an affirmative sentence in the past tense, we need to conjugate the verb in agreement with the subject and add the necessary suffixes. Here are some examples:

  • Ал Окту. (He/She/It read.)
  • Биз Көргөбүз. (We saw.)
  • Сиз Салдыңдар. (You gave.)
  • Алар Келди. (They came.)

Forming Negative Sentences in the Past Tense[edit | edit source]

To form a negative sentence in the past tense, we need to use the negative particle "эмес" after the subject and before the conjugated verb. Here are some examples:

  • Мен Көрбөймөн. (I did not see.)
  • Сен Сатбайсың. (You did not sell.)
  • Ал Окуп эмес. (He/She/It did not read.)
  • Биз Көрбөйбүз. (We did not see.)
  • Сиз Салбайсыздар. (You did not give.)
  • Алар Келбейт. (They did not come.)

Forming Interrogative Sentences in the Past Tense[edit | edit source]

To form an interrogative sentence in the past tense, we need to use the question particle "булса" at the end of the sentence. Here are some examples:

  • Көрдүңбү? (Did you see?)
  • Саттыңбы? (Did you sell?)
  • Окуп эми? (Did he/she/it read?)
  • Көргөбүзбү? (Did we see?)
  • Салбайсыздарбы? (Did you give?)
  • Келбейтби? (Did they come?)

Cultural Insights: Historical Events[edit | edit source]

The past tense allows us to talk about historical events and reflect on the rich cultural heritage of the Kirghiz people. One significant historical event in Kirghiz history is the Manas Epic, a heroic epic poem that tells the story of the legendary hero Manas. The epic is considered one of the world's longest epic poems and is an essential part of Kirghiz culture.

Another important historical event is the Soviet era, which had a significant impact on the Kirghiz people. During this time, the Kirghiz language was written in the Cyrillic script, and Russian became the dominant language in many spheres of life.
