Assalomu alaykum,
Earlier we have learned how to make Question Senteces in Uzbek Language. Today we will talk about Negative Sentences in Uzbek.
In Uzbek language there are two ways to make negative sentences.
1. With a word (emas, yo'q).
2. With suffix (-ma, -may ) in the end of verb, but not only. Used before modified forms that comes from pronouns (see here for pronoun suffices).
In Uzbek language we don't have is, are, verbs like in English.
This is book - Bu kitob.
These are the books - Bu kitoblar.
So when we want to make sentence negative we use emas.
This is not book Bu kitob emas.
These are not the books Bu kitoblar emas.
Word No-Yo'q in Uzbek, so there are rare cases when we need to use Yo'q word. But at the same time Yo'q can be used often as a short answer to the questions.
Do you want this chair? Bu kursini xohlaysizmi?
- No, I don't. Yo'q, xohlamayman.
Is this a book? Bu kitobmi?
-No Yo'q
-may is used with the verb when sentence is present and future.
-ma is used with the verb when sentence is past.
They couldn't come. Ular kela olmadilar.
They can't come. Ular kela olmaydilar.
