Assalomu alaykum,
Bugun mavzu oila a'zolari haqida. Today topic is about family members.
Exercise Set: (Do it from memory, practice again)
Here is the list of words:
*sister - opa for the big sister, singil for the younger sister [:singil: pronounce as written].
**brother - aka for the bigger brother, uka for the younger brother [:uka: pronounce as written]
***cousin - amma-vachcha, vachcha can be added in different cases when you use uncle - amaki, you can call your uncle's child as amakivachcha, you get the idea!
Now the case of uncle - amaki is used for father's brothers, tog'a is used for mother's brothers. In the case of aunt - amma is used for father's sisters, xola is used for mother's sisters. It might seem complicated, but practice makes it better!
Did I miss something? Please let me know, your favorite parts and what would you want to learn for the next lesson, in the comments.
Ko'rishguncha! (see you)

Hello
ReplyDeleteHope you're well.
My step mother is from Uzbekistan and we were told to call her father baba and her mother bujan. What does Bujan mean? I don't see it anywhere online. I don't think it's her name. Thanks! Great post!
Bujan means, bove Jan, or My dear Grandma
Delete-Sarwer Sateer
It is actually buvijon, which is grandma. the vi is probably silent in your dialect.

Hello Hayat,
DeleteI suppose she meant (baba/bobo/buva) which all means grandfather. (buvi/buvijon/bibi) all means grandmother. Depending on locality this changes as well. Look for "buvijon" probably you will find something relevant online.

Feruz
Hi Feruz, can u tell me what means okan or okanga on Uzbek? Its brother or Im wrong?
Deleteokanga is basically referencing your brother. okanga or akanga is "to your older brother". So "okanga choy olib kel" means bring tea to your brother (most likely from a mother's pov). And okaga or akaga is used when referencing an older person or seemingly older person, but you don't know that person. But nevertheless it is used in the same manner, "bu okaga choy olib kelinglar" means bring tea to this older brother.
DeleteWhat we call our aunts son?
