Now that we have learned the necessary vocabulary, let's move on to the actual process of introducing yourself in Tajik. Introductions in Tajik typically follow a simple structure: you start by greeting the other person, state your name, and then inquire about their name. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to introduce yourself in Tajik:
| Манро шенасо кун! || Manro shenaso kun! || Introduce yourself to me!


1. Greeting:
|}
  - Begin by saying "Салом" (Salom), which means "Hello" in Tajik. This is a common greeting that can be used in both formal and informal situations.


2. Stating your name:
=== Practice Examples ===
  - After greeting the other person, it's time to introduce yourself. You can say "Ман" (Man), which means "I", followed by "Ҷустуҷӯ" (Justujo), which means "my name is". For example, if your name is John, you would say "Ман ҷустуҷӯи John мебошам" (Man justujoi John mebosham), which translates to "I am John".


3. Inquiring about the other person's name:
To reinforce your learning, let’s look at a few more examples where you can fill in the blanks with your own information:
  - To ask for someone's name in Tajik, you can say "Аз номи чистуҷӯ шумо хоҳед гуфтан?" (Az nomi chistujo shumo hohed guftan?), which means "What is your name?"


4. Responding to their name:
1. Салом! Ман ________________ ҳастам.
  - When the other person tells you their name, you can respond by saying "Хурсанд шудам, шумо хурсанд шавед?" (Khursand shudam, shumo khursand shaved?), which means "I'm pleased to meet you, are you pleased?" This is a polite way to acknowledge their introduction and show your enthusiasm to get to know them.


Remember to practice these phrases aloud to improve your pronunciation and fluency. Confidence comes with practice, so don't be afraid to make mistakes and keep practicing until you feel comfortable with the material.
2. Номам ________________ аст.


== Cultural Insights ==
3. Ман ________________ сол дорам.


Understanding the cultural context of greetings and introductions in Tajikistan is crucial for effective communication. Tajik culture places a strong emphasis on respect and politeness, especially in formal settings. Here are some cultural insights and variations that you should keep in mind:
4. Ман аз ________________ омадам.


1. Handshakes:
5. Номи ту ________________ аст?
  - Handshakes are a common form of greeting in Tajikistan, especially in more formal situations. When meeting someone for the first time, it is customary to offer a firm handshake while maintaining eye contact. However, it's important to note that some Tajiks may prefer not to shake hands with members of the opposite gender due to religious or cultural reasons. In such cases, it is best to follow the lead of the other person.


2. Addressing elders and superiors:
=== Exercises ===
  - In Tajik culture, it is customary to show respect to elders and superiors by using formal language and honorifics. When addressing someone who is older or in a higher position, it is polite to use the formal pronoun "Шумо" (Shumo) instead of the informal "Ту" (Tu). This demonstrates your respect and ensures that you are using appropriate language in different social hierarchies.


3. Non-verbal communication:
Now that you’ve learned the vocabulary and phrases, it’s time to put them into practice. Here are 10 exercises to help you solidify your understanding:
  - Non-verbal cues, such as smiling, nodding, and maintaining eye contact, play an important role in Tajik greetings and introductions. These gestures convey warmth, sincerity, and interest in the other person. It is considered impolite to avoid eye contact or show disinterest during an introduction, as it may be perceived as a lack of respect.


4. Introductions in social settings:
1. '''Fill in the Blanks'''
  - In informal settings, such as among friends and family, introductions may be more relaxed and casual. You may use less formal language and follow the lead of the group. It is common to exchange pleasantries, ask about each other's well-being, and engage in light-hearted conversation before getting into more personal details.


By being aware of these cultural nuances, you can navigate social interactions with greater ease and show your respect for Tajik customs and traditions.
Complete the following sentences with your information:

* Ман _____________ ҳастам.
