== Overview of Present Tense ==
 
In Tatar, the present tense is formed by conjugating the verb according to the subject. Generally, we will focus on the following pronouns for verb conjugation:
 
* '''Min''' (I)
 
* '''Sin''' (You - singular)
 
* '''Ul''' (He/She/It)
 
* '''Bez''' (We)
 
* '''Siz''' (You - plural/formal)
 
* '''Alar''' (They)
 
The ending of the verb changes based on the subject performing the action.
 
=== Regular Verb Conjugation ===
 
Regular verbs in Tatar follow a predictable pattern when conjugated in the present tense. Here’s how it works:
 
'''General Conjugation Pattern:'''
 
* For verbs ending in '''-у''' or '''-ю''':
 
* '''Min''' (I): -ам / -ем
 
* '''Sin''' (You): -асың / -әсәң


Welcome to the lesson on the Tatar present tense! In this lesson, we will explore the conjugation of regular and irregular verbs in the present tense. The present tense is used to talk about current actions and states, making it an essential aspect of Tatar grammar. By mastering the present tense, you will be able to express yourself more fluently and accurately in everyday conversations.
* '''Ul''' (He/She/It): -а / -я


This lesson is part of the "Complete 0 to A1 Tatar Course" and is designed for complete beginners who have no prior knowledge of the Tatar language. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of the present tense and be able to use it confidently in your own speech and writing.
* '''Bez''' (We): -абыз / -ебез


Now, let's dive into the fascinating world of Tatar verbs and tenses!
* '''Siz''' (You - plural/formal): -асыз / -әсез


== Conjugation of Regular Verbs ==
* '''Alar''' (They): -алар / -ләр


In Tatar, regular verbs follow a predictable pattern of conjugation in the present tense. To conjugate a regular verb, we need to identify its stem and add the appropriate verb endings for each subject pronoun. Let's take a look at the conjugation of the regular verb "to speak" (söyle-):
Now let's look at some examples of regular verbs in tables.


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
! Tatar !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| сөйлә-мәгән || söylä-mägän || I speak
 
| йөрим || jöyrim || I walk
 
|-
|-

| йөрисең || jöyriseñ || You walk
 
|-
|-
| сөйлә-r || söylä-r || he/she/it speaks

|-
|-
| сөйлә-ләр || söylä-lär || they speak
 
| йөриләр || jöyrilər || They walk
 
|}
|}


As you can see, the verb stem remains unchanged, and we simply add the appropriate endings (-мәгән, -sәn, -r, -без, -гез, -ләр) to indicate the subject pronouns. Practice conjugating regular verbs in the present tense with different subject pronouns to familiarize yourself with the patterns.

== Cultural Insight: Regional Variations ==

It is important to note that Tatar is spoken in different regions, and there may be variations in verb usage and understanding. For example, in the Kazan dialect, the verb "to speak" is conjugated as "тыйла-" (tiyla-) in the present tense, while in other dialects, it is "сөйлә-" (söyle-) as we have seen earlier. These regional differences add richness to the Tatar language and reflect the diverse cultural heritage of the Tatar people.
