-==Grammar==
+=== Sentence Structure for Self-Introductions ===
-In Tatar, there are two ways to address someone: formal and informal. The formal way is used when addressing someone older, of higher status or not familiar to the speaker. To show respect, the formal address uses the third-person pronoun instead of the second person. The informal way is used when addressing someone younger, of lower status, or familiar to the speaker.
+Now that we have the key phrases and vocabulary, let’s look at how to structure our sentences. Tatar sentence structure often follows the Subject-Verb-Object format, similar to English. Here’s how to combine what you've learned:
-To introduce yourself, you can use the phrase "безнең исемем" (bezneñ isemem) followed by your name. For example:
+* '''I am [your name].'''
-- Безнең исемем Таяна. (Bezneñ isemem Tayana.) - My name is Tayana.
+Tatar: Минем исемем [your name].
-To ask someone's name, you can use the phrase "сеннеге исемнен килдиң?" (sennäge isemnen qildiñ?), which literally means "what is your name?". For example:
+Pronunciation: Minem isemem [your name].
-- Сеннеге исемнен килдиң? (Sennäge isemnen qildiñ?) - What is your name?
+* '''I am from [your country].'''
-To answer, you can use the following construction:
+Tatar: Мин [your country]дан.
-- Минем исемем ... (Minem isemem ...) - My name is ...
+Pronunciation: Min [your country]dan.
-For example:
+Here are some complete examples:
-- Минем исемем Әзәл. (Minem isemem Äzäl.) - My name is Azal.
