Introduce yourself in Uzbek [Special request]

Assalomu alaykum,

Today we learn how to introduce ourselves in Uzbek language.This is a special request lesson from the Uzbek language learner and reader!
Greeting plays most important role to make a first impression. And get to know other individuals.
"In Uzbek culture it is polite that younger person initiates
the greeting. When Uzbek men start greeting, they place their right hand over their heart and bow slightly forward about a second. If they are close to one another to shake a hands, place your left hand over your heart and shake hands.

introduce yourself in uzbek
It is considered rude for a young man to walk up and extend hand to older man expecting him to greet older man. When a man greet an adult woman he generally will not extend his hands for a shake, simply puts his hand over chest. If the woman is considerably older, he may lower his shoulder for her to touch it lightly in greeting.When Uzbek women meet, they place their right hand over left shoulder of the other person. Young women will often simply shake hands like men do. When a woman greet an adult man, she will place her hand over chest and greets verbally."
- Uzbeks

    This is typos:
    Men O'zbekistonda yaxshayman - Men O'zbekistonda yashayman
    Men Angliyada yaxshayman - Men Angliyada yashayman
    By the way! How to say typos in Uzbek language? Xato?

    1. Assalomu alaykum Aziza opa,

      Many thanks for review of the lesson. I have now fixed the misspells!

      I think "mistake", "error" is "xato" in Uzbek, maybe "typo" can also be translated as "xato", but more like "harfiy xato" - literally means "letter mistake" or "misspell".

      Rahmat!

    2. or more appropriate translation is "imloviy xato"

    3. Feruzjon!
      "Misspelling" — noto'g'ri yozuv yoki siz deygan harfiy xato, imloviy xato.
      Lekin menimcha "typo" — bosma xatosi bo'lsa kerakdir.
      Bosma xato — ruscha "опечатка".
      Nima deysiz? :)

    4. To'g'ri aytasiz!

      imloviy xato - agar imloda xatolik bo'lsa,
      siz aytgandek, typo - bosma xato!

      rahmat! :)

  2. Va aleykum assalom, Feruzjon!
    Ulug' ishlaringisga katta rahmat!
    Lekin savolim bor.
    Is it correct? - Shunday bo'lsa to'g'rimi?
    bir oz - a little
    faqat - just
    bir oz faqat = bir oz faqatgina - just a little

    1. Rahmat!

      You are right, it took a while to decide if this phrase is correct or not. But finally "just a little" - "bir oz" seem to give exact translation and meaning.

      Oz - a little (amount)
      Bir oz - just a little (a little amount)

      "just", as we know, has a lot of meaning, but in this case it is only _intensifier_.

      Please correct me if I am wrong! Thank you very much!

      by the way, Aziza opa, I see that you teach Russian and Uzbek languages. Am I right?

      O'zbek — ikkinchi ona tilim. Bolalikimda fakat O'zbekistonda yashadim.
      Ancha eshitmadim ham gapiralmadim.
      Ona tilimni yaxshi bilishni juda xohlaiman.
      Yordamingizga juda xursandman! Katta rahmat!
