Hi Northern Uzbek learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing the conditional mood in Northern Uzbek. This is an important part of the language and understanding it will help you to communicate more effectively.
Overview
The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or a wish. It is formed by adding the suffix -sA to the verb stem. For example, the verb "to go" is yur- in the infinitive form. In the conditional mood, it becomes yursA.
Formation
The conditional mood is formed by adding the suffix -sA to the verb stem. The verb stem is the part of the verb that remains after removing the infinitive ending (-mAs, -sAn, -yIs, -lAr). For example, the verb "to go" is yur- in the infinitive form. In the conditional mood, it becomes yursA.
Verbs Ending in -mAs
Verbs ending in -mAs drop the -mAs and add -sA. For example, the verb "to read" is o'qimAs in the infinitive form. In the conditional mood, it becomes o'qisA.
Verbs Ending in -sAn
Verbs ending in -sAn drop the -sAn and add -sA. For example, the verb "to write" is yozsAn in the infinitive form. In the conditional mood, it becomes yozsA.
Verbs Ending in -yIs
Verbs ending in -yIs drop the -yIs and add -sA. For example, the verb "to eat" is o'yIs in the infinitive form. In the conditional mood, it becomes o'ysA.
Verbs Ending in -lAr
Verbs ending in -lAr drop the -lAr and add -sA. For example, the verb "to speak" is so'zlAr in the infinitive form. In the conditional mood, it becomes so'zsA.
Usage
The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or a wish. For example:
- Men yursam, sizga qo'ng'iroq qilardim. (If I went, I would visit you.)
- O'zingizni yaxshi ko'ring, yurib qolsangiz hamma yaxshi bo'lardi. (Take care of yourself, it would be better if you stayed.)
It can also be used to express politeness when making requests. For example:
- Mening uchun bu ishni bajaring, men tashvish qilmasam bo'lardi. (Do this for me, I would be grateful.)
