== Introduction ==
=== 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.
 
For example:
 
* "The man who is wearing a hat is my uncle."
 
In this sentence, "who is wearing a hat" is the relative clause that gives us more information about "the man."
 
=== The Function of Relative Pronouns ===
 
In Northern Uzbek, relative clauses often begin with relative pronouns. The most common relative pronouns are:
 
* '''kim''' (who)
 
* '''nima''' (what)
 
* '''qayerda''' (where)
 
* '''qachon''' (when)
 
These pronouns help us connect the clause to the noun we are describing.
 
=== How to Form Relative Clauses in Northern Uzbek ===
 
Creating relative clauses in Northern Uzbek is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
 
1. '''Identify the noun''' you want to describe.
 
2. '''Choose the appropriate relative pronoun''' based on the noun's characteristics.
 
3. '''Add the relative clause''' after the noun to provide more context.
 
Let's look at some examples to clarify this process.

Welcome to the lesson on Relative Clauses in Northern Uzbek! In this lesson, we will delve into the intricacies of using relative pronouns to create complex sentences with multiple clauses. Understanding relative clauses is an important aspect of mastering the Northern Uzbek language, as it allows you to express complex ideas and provide additional information about a noun or pronoun in a sentence.
|-


Throughout this lesson, we will explore the various types of relative pronouns and their usage in Northern Uzbek sentence structures. We will provide numerous examples to illustrate each point, ensuring that you have a thorough understanding of how to use relative clauses correctly.
| U, kim do'st bo'ladi, har doim yordam beradi. || U, kim do'st bo'ladi, har doim yordam beradi. || He, who becomes a friend, always helps.


By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently construct sentences with relative clauses, enhancing your communication skills and taking your Northern Uzbek proficiency to a more advanced level. So, let's dive in and explore the world of relative clauses in Northern Uzbek!
|-


== The Basics of Relative Clauses ==
| Yozgi dam olish, qayerda biz sayohat qilamiz, juda yoqimli. || Yozgi dam olish, qayerda biz sayohat qilamiz, juda yoqimli. || The summer vacation, where we travel, is very pleasant.


A relative clause is a type of dependent clause that provides additional information about a noun or pronoun in a sentence. It is introduced by a relative pronoun, which connects the relative clause to the main clause. In Northern Uzbek, there are three main relative pronouns: "kim" (who/whom), "nima" (what), and "qaysi" (which).
|-


To form a relative clause, you need to follow a specific structure. First, you include the relative pronoun, which agrees in gender and number with the noun it refers to. Then, you include the verb and any additional information necessary to complete the clause.
| O'yin, nima biz tomosha qilamiz, juda qiziq. || O'yin, nima biz tomosha qilamiz, juda qiziq. || The game, which we watch, is very fun.


Let's look at some examples to better understand the structure and usage of relative clauses in Northern Uzbek:
|-


'''Example 1:'''
| Uydagi suratlar, qachon men ko'rganimda, juda go'zal. || Uydagi suratlar, qachon men ko'rganimda, juda go'zal. || The pictures at home, when I saw them, are very beautiful.
Original sentence: "Uyda yashovchi bola kutubxona ichra olishdi."
Relative clause: "bola kutubxona ichra olishdi"
Relative pronoun: "kim"
Combined sentence: "Uyda yashovchi bola, kim kutubxona ichra olishdi."


Translation: "The child who lives at home went to the library to get a book."
|-


In this example, the relative clause "bola kutubxona ichra olishdi" provides additional information about the noun "bola" (child) in the main clause. The relative pronoun "kim" connects the relative clause to the main clause, and the combined sentence provides a more detailed description of the child's actions.
| Mening kitobim, kim menga berilgan, juda qadimiy. || Mening kitobim, kim menga berilgan, juda qadimiy. || My book, which was given to me, is very ancient.


'''Example 2:'''
|-
Original sentence: "Mashina yuqoriga chiqdi."
Relative clause: "yuqoriga chiqdi"
Relative pronoun: "qaysi"
Combined sentence: "Mashina, qaysi yuqoriga chiqdi."


Translation: "The car went up, to which direction it went."
| O'yinchoq, nima bolalar o'ynaydi, juda qadrli. || O'yinchoq, nima bolalar o'ynaydi, juda qadrli. || The toy, which the children play with, is very precious.


In this example, the relative clause "yuqoriga chiqdi" provides additional information about the noun "mashina" (car) in the main clause. The relative pronoun "qaysi" connects the relative clause to the main clause, and the combined sentence provides a more precise description of the car's movement.
|-


Now that we have seen some examples of relative clauses in Northern Uzbek, let's explore the different types of relative pronouns and their usage in more detail.
| Dars, qayerda o'qituvchi gapiradi, juda foydali. || Dars, qayerda o'qituvchi gapiradi, juda foydali. || The lesson, where the teacher talks, is very useful.


== Types of Relative Pronouns ==
|-


In Northern Uzbek, there are three main types of relative pronouns: "kim" (who/whom), "nima" (what), and "qaysi" (which). Each relative pronoun has its specific usage and agreement with the noun it refers to.
| Film, qachon biz ko'ramiz, juda qiziqarli. || Film, qachon biz ko'ramiz, juda qiziqarli. || The movie, when we watch it, is very interesting.


=== 1. "Kim" (Who/Whom) ===
|-


The relative pronoun "kim" is used to refer to people in relative clauses. It can be used in both subject and object positions within the clause.
| Ota, nima ish bilan shug'ullanadi, juda mehnatkash. || Ota, nima ish bilan shug'ullanadi, juda mehnatkash. || The father, who works hard, is very diligent.


Let's look at some examples to understand the usage of "kim" in Northern Uzbek:
|-


'''Example 1:'''
| Mening do'stim, qachon u bilan suhbatlashaman, juda yaxshi. || Mening do'stim, qachon u bilan suhbatlashaman, juda yaxshi. || My friend, when I talk to him, is very nice.
Original sentence: "O'qituvchi kutubxonada bo'lgan o'quvchilar bilan gaplashdi."
Relative clause: "o'quvchilar bilan gaplashdi"
Relative pronoun: "kim"
Combined sentence: "O'qituvchi, kim kutubxonada bo'lgan o'quvchilar bilan gaplashdi."


Translation: "The teacher who was in the library spoke with the students."
|-


In this example, the relative pronoun "kim" refers to the people ("o'quvchilar" - students) in the relative clause. It connects the relative clause to the main clause, and the combined sentence provides a more detailed description of the teacher's actions.
| Maktab, nima bolalarga ta'lim beradi, juda muhim. || Maktab, nima bolalarga ta'lim beradi, juda muhim. || The school, which educates the children, is very important.


'''Example 2:'''
|-
Original sentence: "Men ko'rgan insonlar hech qachon unutilmaydigan."
Relative clause: "inchun unutilmaydigan"
Relative pronoun: "kim"
Combined sentence: "Men ko'rgan insonlar, kim hech qachon unutilmaydigan."


Translation: "The people whom I have seen are unforgettable."
| Ota-onam, kim bizni qo'llab-quvvatlaydi, juda mehribon. || Ota-onam, kim bizni qo'llab-quvvatlaydi, juda mehribon. || My parents, who support us, are very caring.


In this example, the relative pronoun "kim" refers to the people ("insonlar" - people) in the relative clause. It connects the relative clause to the main clause, and the combined sentence provides a more specific description of the people's characteristics.
|-


=== 2. "Nima" (What) ===
| Gullar, qayerda to'plangan, juda go'zal. || Gullar, qayerda to'plangan, juda go'zal. || The flowers, where they are gathered, are very beautiful.


The relative pronoun "nima" is used to refer to things or ideas in relative clauses. It can be used in both subject and object positions within the clause.
|-


Let's look at some examples to understand the usage of "nima" in Northern Uzbek:
| Kitob, nima menga yoqadi, juda qiziqarli. || Kitob, nima menga yoqadi, juda qiziqarli. || The book, which I like, is very interesting.


'''Example 1:'''
|-
Original sentence: "Men o'qigan kitoblar juda qiziqarli."
Relative clause: "o'qigan kitoblar"
Relative pronoun: "nima"
Combined sentence: "Men o'qigan nima juda qiziqarli."


Translation: "What I have read is very interesting."
| O'yin, kim bolalarga yoqadi, juda qiziqarli. || O'yin, kim bolalarga yoqadi, juda qiziqarli. || The game, which the children like, is very fun.


In this example, the relative pronoun "nima" refers to the things ("kitoblar" - books) in the relative clause. It connects the relative clause to the main clause, and the combined sentence provides a more specific description of the things the speaker has read.
|}


'''Example 2:'''
=== Practice Exercises ===
Original sentence: "Ular qilgan ishlar hamma yoqishadi."
Relative clause: "qilgan ishlar"
Relative pronoun: "nima"
Combined sentence: "Ular qilgan nima hamma yoqishadi."


Translation: "What they have done is liked by everyone."
Now that you understand relative clauses, let’s put your skills to the test! Here are some exercises for you to practice.


In this example, the relative pronoun "nima" refers to the things ("ishlar" - things) in the relative clause. It connects the relative clause to the main clause, and the combined sentence provides a more detailed description of the things that have been done.
==== Exercise 1: Identify the Relative Clause ====


=== 3. "Qaysi" (Which) ===
Read the following sentences and underline the relative clauses.


The relative pronoun "qaysi" is used to refer to specific items or choices in relative clauses. It agrees in gender and number with the noun it refers to.
1. The teacher who speaks three languages is very talented.


Let's look at some examples to understand the usage of "qaysi" in Northern Uzbek:
2. The house where I grew up is being renovated.


'''Example 1:'''
3. The book that I borrowed was fascinating.
Original sentence: "To'rtta taom bor, qaysi birini tanlaysiz?"
Relative clause: "qaysi birini"
Relative pronoun: "qaysi"
Combined sentence: "To'rtta taom bor, qaysi birini tanlaysiz?"


Translation: "There are four dishes, which one will you choose?"
==== Exercise 2: Fill in the Blanks ====


In this example, the relative pronoun "qaysi" refers to the choices ("birini" - one) in the relative clause. It connects the relative clause to the main clause, and the combined sentence provides a more specific description of the choices available.
Complete the sentences with the appropriate relative pronouns (kim, nima, qayerda, qachon).


'''Example 2:'''
1. The girl, _____ sings beautifully, won the competition.
Original sentence: "Mening do'stlarimning telefonlari ko'pchilikida iPhone, qaysi biri esa Samsung."
Relative clause: "qaysi biri"
Relative pronoun: "qaysi"
Combined sentence: "Mening do'stlarimning telefonlari ko'pchilikida iPhone, qaysi biri esa Samsung."


Translation: "Most of my friends' phones are iPhones, which one is Samsung."
2. The restaurant, _____ we ate dinner, was excellent.


In this example, the relative pronoun "qaysi" refers to the choices ("biri" - one) in the relative clause. It connects the relative clause to the main clause, and the combined sentence provides a more detailed description of the choices available.
3. The day _____ we met was unforgettable.


== Cultural Insights ==
==== Exercise 3: Create Your Own Sentences ====
The usage and understanding of relative clauses in Northern Uzbek language may vary slightly across different regions and communities. While the basic structure and principles remain the same, there might be regional variations in the choice of relative pronouns or the emphasis placed on certain types of relative clauses.


In some areas of Northern Uzbekistan, the historical influence of neighboring languages and dialects may have shaped the usage of relative clauses. For example, in the Ferghana Valley region, which shares borders with Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, there might be a greater influence of Tajik and Kyrgyz languages on the usage of relative clauses.
Write three sentences using relative clauses about your family or friends. Try to include different relative pronouns.


Additionally, historical factors such as trade routes, migration, and cultural exchanges may have also influenced the usage and understanding of relative clauses in specific regions. For example, cities along the Silk Road, like Samarkand and Bukhara, have a rich cultural history and may have unique linguistic characteristics in their usage of relative clauses.
==== Exercise 4: Match the Sentences ====


Interesting fact:
Match the main clause with the correct relative clause.
Did you know that Northern Uzbek is closely related to other Turkic languages such as Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uzbek? These languages share common grammatical structures, vocabulary, and historical roots. However, each language has its unique features and regional variations, making the study of Northern Uzbek both fascinating and rewarding.

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