== Introduction == | |||
In this lesson, we will explore the basic sentence structure in the South Azerbaijani language. Understanding the word order is essential for constructing meaningful sentences and conveying your thoughts accurately. South Azerbaijani follows a subject-object-verb (SOV) order, which means that the subject comes first, followed by the object, and finally the verb. This lesson will provide a comprehensive overview of this word order and its usage in various contexts. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid foundation in constructing sentences with the correct subject-object-verb order. | |||

== Overview of Subject-Object-Verb Order == | |||
The subject-object-verb (SOV) order is a fundamental aspect of South Azerbaijani grammar.

This word order is consistent across various sentence types, including declarative, interrogative, and imperative sentences. | |||
Let's take a look at a simple example to illustrate the subject-object-verb order: | |||

Introduction[edit | edit source]
In this lesson, we will explore the basic sentence structure in the South Azerbaijani language. Understanding the word order is essential for constructing meaningful sentences and conveying your thoughts accurately. South Azerbaijani follows a subject-object-verb (SOV) order, which means that the subject comes first, followed by the object, and finally the verb. This lesson will provide a comprehensive overview of this word order and its usage in various contexts. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid foundation in constructing sentences with the correct subject-object-verb order.
Overview of Subject-Object-Verb Order[edit | edit source]
The subject-object-verb (SOV) order is a fundamental aspect of South Azerbaijani grammar. Unlike English and many other languages that follow a subject-verb-object (SVO) order, South Azerbaijani places the subject before the object and the verb at the end. This word order is consistent across various sentence types, including declarative, interrogative, and imperative sentences.
Let's take a look at a simple example to illustrate the subject-object-verb order:
South Azerbaijani | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
مینا | Mina | Mina |
In this example, "مینا" (Mina) is the subject, "مینا" (Mina) is the object, and there is no verb. This sentence translates to "Mina."
Subject in South Azerbaijani Sentences[edit | edit source]
The subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action or is being described in a sentence. In South Azerbaijani, the subject always comes before the object and the verb. Let's explore some examples:
Example 1[edit | edit source]
South Azerbaijani | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
آدام | Adam | Adam |
In this sentence, "آدام" (Adam) is the subject, and there is no object or verb. It translates to "Adam."

Object in South Azerbaijani Sentences[edit | edit source]
The object in South Azerbaijani sentences receives the action or is being affected by it. Like the subject, the object also comes before the verb. Let's explore some examples:
Example 1[edit | edit source]
