Unlike English, Uzbek language does not have definite and indefinite articles.
In Uzbek, when we know about which object we are talking about that definite object will get suffix –ni. Suffix – ni is not used for the subject and cannot be combined with other case endings.
The object (nouns or pronouns) answers the question kimni? (whom) or nimani? (what).
For example:
- “Menga (nimani?) kitobni bering” vs “Menga (nima?) kitob bering”. “Give me the book” vs “Give me a book”.
Definite direct objects often combine with verbs like:
- Bilmoq – to know / bil – know
- Olmoq – to take / ol – take
- Bermoq – to give/ ber – give
- Ochmoq – to open/ och – open
- Yop[Keywords] – to close/ yop – close
- Qo’ymoq – to put/ qo’y – put
- Tushunmoq – to understand/tushun - understand
Here is how these verbs look in a sentence:
- Anvar, kitobni bering! – Anvar, give (me) the book!
- Lola, telefonni ol! – Lola, take the phone!
- Men o’zbek tilini bilaman. – I know Uzbek language.
