In this lesson, you will learn how to form commands and requests in Tatar. You will learn about the different forms of commands, including polite and informal, and practice using them in various situations.  
=== Importance of Commands and Requests in Tatar ===
 
Commands and requests are not only about the words we use but also about the nuances of politeness and context. Understanding how to express these can help you build relationships and show respect to others. In Tatar culture, as in many others, the way you ask for something can speak volumes about your character and intentions.  
 
=== Structure of the Lesson ===
 
This lesson will be structured as follows:
 
* '''Types of Commands and Requests''': Understanding the different forms.
 
* '''Polite vs. Informal Commands''': When to use which form.
 
* '''Examples for Clarity''': A table of 20 examples to illustrate the differences.
 
* '''Practice Scenarios''': 10 exercises to solidify your understanding.
 
== Types of Commands and Requests ==
 
In Tatar, commands and requests can be categorized into the following types:
 
=== Direct Commands ===
 
These are straightforward requests or orders. For example, "Close the window!" is a direct command.
 
=== Indirect Requests ===
 
These are more polite and often framed as questions. For instance, "Could you please close the window?" is an indirect request.
 
=== Informal Commands ===
 
Used among friends or peers, these commands are often more relaxed. For example, "Come here!" can be said casually to a friend.
 
=== Polite Requests ===
 
These are used in formal situations, often incorporating polite language to show respect. For example, "Could you help me, please?" is a polite request.
 
== Polite vs. Informal Commands ==
 
It's crucial to understand when to use polite or informal commands in Tatar. Here’s a breakdown:
 
=== Informal Commands ===

=== Polite Commands ===
== Polite Commands ==


Polite commands are often used when speaking to strangers, people older than you, or people you don't know well. They are also used to show respect to someone who is in a higher position than you, such as a teacher or a boss.  
* Used with strangers, elders, or in formal settings.


To form a polite command in Tatar, follow these steps:
* Often longer, incorporating polite phrases.


1. Take the infinitive form of the verb (the form that ends in "-magyn").
== Examples of Commands and Requests ==
2. Remove the "-magyn" ending and add "-as" instead.
3. Add the suffix "-yn" or "-n" to the end of the verb, depending on the vowel harmony rules.


Here are some examples:
Below are examples to illustrate the differences between informal and polite commands and requests in Tatar.

|-
| Әниемне чакырыгыз, зинһар! || Äniemne çakırıgız, zınhar! || Please call my mom. (polite)
|-

|}
| Сүзләремне тыңлагыз, зинһар! || Süzlärimne tıñlağız, zınhar! || Please listen to my words. (polite)


As you can see, the polite commands end in "-yz" or "-z" depending on the vowel harmony rules of the verb. For example, if the verb ends in a vowel, you add "-yz" to the end. If the verb ends in a consonant, you add "-z" instead.
|-


== Informal Commands ==
| Мине аңла! || Mine añla! || Understand me! (informal)


Informal commands are often used when speaking to family members, friends, or children. They are less formal than polite commands and are usually formed by using the stem of the verb.
|-


To form an informal command in Tatar, follow these steps:
| Мине аңлагыз, зинһар! || Mine añlağız, zınhar! || Please understand me. (polite)


1. Take the stem of the verb (the form that ends in the last vowel).
|-
2. Add the suffix "-а" or "-я" to the end of the verb, depending on the vowel harmony rules.
3. Add the relevant personal pronoun at the beginning of the verb to show who the command is addressed to.


Here are some examples:
| Бик тиз бул! || Bik tiz bul! || Be quick! (informal)


{| class="wikitable"
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| китап оку || kítap oqu || Read the book (informal)

|-
 
| Зинһар, барыгыз! || Zınhar, barığız! || Please, all of you go! (polite)


|}

As you can see, the informal commands are formed by adding "-а" or "-я" to the end of the verb stem, depending on the vowel harmony rules. Then, the personal pronoun is added at the beginning of the verb to show who the command is addressed to.
