Uzbek Story: How fox made fool of lion!

Assalomu alaykum,

Today's Uzbek lesson is for advanced and intermediate language level students. But I hope beginners will also learn some vocabulary. Story/tale is about "how fox made fool of lion".

"Did you know? O'zbek means independent or the lord itself (O'ziga bek), from O'z (self) and Bek/Bey/Beg (noble)."
- Wikipedia

Note that there will not be translated version of the story, please listen and try to understand meaning of the story. First please read the story and then listen, then listen and read, at the end we will have some vocabulary. Good luck!


Tulkining sherni laqillatgani. (How fox made fool of lion.)

Bir kuni tulki kechki payt qorni ochganini sezib, uyasidan chiqibtida, yegulik biror narsa topish uchun o'rmonga yo'l olibdi. Rosa charchab tinka madori quriguncha yuribdi. Lekin arzigulik biron nima topolmabdi.

Tulki kechadan beri tuz totmaganini eslab, mazali ovqatlardan benasib qilgan sherdan xafa bo'libdi. Kuni kecha u o'rmonga yaqin bir qishloqqa kirib borib bir g'ozni xalqumidan endi tishlab olib, qochmoqchi bo'lib turganida, to'satdan sherni o'kirganini eshitib qolgan ekan. Shunda tulki g'ozni tashlab qochib qolgan ekan. Agar o'sha sher bolmaganida mazza qilib ovqatlangan bo'larkan. G'azab tulkini aql xushini olib qo'yibdi.

U yo'lni ham pisand qilmay ketayotgan ekan, to'satdan, oldidan sher chiqib qolibdi. Tulki qo'rqib ketibdi. Vujudini titroq bosibdi. Lekin shunday bo'lsa ham o'zini bosib
-"Hoy sher, tezroq qochib qol hozir bo'ron ko'tariladi", debdi.
-"Men juda og'irman uncha buncha bo'ron menga pisand emas", debdi sher.
-"Qanday qilasan axir shamol juda qattiq bo'ladiku"
-"Yerga yotib olaman"
-"Bu tadbiring yordam bermaydi. Seni bo'ron uchirib ketadi"
-"Men daraxtga mahkam yopishib olaman"
-"Shamol beto'xtov ber necha kun davom etadi. Shuncha kungacha daraxtni quchoqlab tura olmaysanku axir"
Shunda sherni o'takasi yorilib,
-"Unday bo'lsa ayt nima qilay", deb o'kiribdi.
-"Kel men seni daraxtga bog'lab qo'yaman. Shunda har qanday shamol ham senga bexavotir bo'ladi", debdi tulki.
-"Voy, ajoyib fikr"!
rozi bo'libdi sher. Tulki sherni daraxtga bog'labtida o'zi sal naridagi qamishzorga kirib o'tiribdi.
-"Nega endi sen bo'rondan saqlanish uchun bironta panaroq joy qidirmayapsan", deb so'rabdi sher.
-"Hmmm, nega desang hech qanaqa bo'ron bo'lmaydi", xotirjam javob beribdi tulki.
Sherni g'azabiga qaynab ketib qattiq bo'kiribti. Shu zahoti har xil hayvonlar yig'ilib kelishibdi. Ular daraxtga bog'lab qo'yilgan sherni va uni yonida xotirjam o'tirgan tulkini ko'rib hayron bo'lishibdida bu voqeaning tafsilotini so'rashibdi.
-"Kecha kechqurun ovqatdan benasib qilgani uchun uni men bog'lab qo'ydim. Bu voqea hammangizga ibrat bo'lishi kerak. U kuchsizlarga hamla qilishdan o'zini tiysin", deya tushuntira ketibdi tulki.
Shunday qilib tulki ularni oldidan viqor bilan qaddini g'oz tutib hech kimni pisand qilmay o'tib boribdi. Hamma hayvonlar undan qo'rqanlaridan ehtirom bilan ta'zim qilib kuzatib qolibdilar.

Uzbek grammar lessons - Adjectives 2

Assalomu alaykum,

Like in English language we have also comparative adjectives in Uzbek language.
Comparative adjectives - Sifat darajalari.

In Uzbek we have following similar types:

⑴ oddiy daraja - normal form or regular adjectives

⑵ orttirma daraja - superlative form of adjectives 

⑶ qiyosiy daraja - comparative adjectives 

⑴ This type of adjective does not have any suffixes and known to be core (base) of adjectives. 

Examples: yashil (green), yumshoq (soft), sariq (yellow), yengil (light [weight]), qattiq (hard), qisqa (short).

⑵  This type describe very high or low quantity of the objects or subjects. And usually made by adding following words front of the adjectives: juda (very), juda ham (greatly), g'oyat (extremely), g'oyatda, nihoyatda, eng, hammadan. (similar exaggerate words)

Examples: juda og'ir (very heavy), juda ham qattiq (greatly hard), g'oyat go'zal (extremely beautiful), g'oyatda bema'ni (truly nonsense), nihoyatda uzoq (very far), eng kuchli (greatly strong). 

⑶ This type of adjectives created by adding "-roq" to the base of adjectives and describe comparative quantity of the objects or subjects. 

Examples: qoraroq (blacker), uzunroq (longer), qattiqroq (harder), aqlliroq (smarter), torroq (narrower).

Besides above types there are another 2 form of adjectives in Uzbek. Namely,  Weaken (Ozaytirma) and Strengthen (Kuchaytirma) adjectives (sifatlar). 

1. Weaken adjectives describe less or light marks of the objects and subjects.

Examples: oq (white) - oqish (whitish), qora (black) - qoramtir (blackish), sariq (yellow) - sarg'ish (yellowish), qizil (red) - qizg'ish (reddish), yashil (green) - och yashil (greenish or light green). 

2. Strengthen adjectives vice versa, increase or strengthen the mark.

Examples: qora - qop-qora (very dark black), tim qora (strong black); oq - oppoq (very white or strong white), ko'k (blue) - ko'm-ko'k (strong/dark blue), tekis (smooth) - tep-tekis (very flat), yumaloq (round) - yum-yumaloq (very/even round), katta (big) - kap-katta (big enough), yolg'on (lie) - g'irt yolg'on (completely lie), ho'l (wet) - jiqqa ho'l (very wet), sariq (yellow) - sap-sariq (yellowish).

Suffixations - Learn Uzbek Language

Assalomu alaykum,


In this lesson we learn Suffixations in Uzbek language. I try to include all possibilities. Take your time to review them, as I know it might be difficult to learn all of them in one lesson. I will try to make another lesson out of it with some quizes and more examples.

You can also check out earlier lesson about Personal pronouns here and its suffixes forms, because it is also related to the subject.

The lexical meanings and grammatical functions of Uzbek words are indicated primarily by adding elements called suffixes to the ends of the words.

for example,

ko'z+lar+im  'eye+s+my'='my eyes'

1. Word formation suffixes.

Nominals and verbals with new lexical meanings can be created in Uzbek language through suffixation.So by adding suffixes we create new lexical meaning:

bosh	head (anatomy)
boshliq	chief, foreman
boshlamoq	to begin (infinitive)

Adding a suffix to a verbal root or word also produces a nominal or a verbal with a new lexical meaning:

boshlanmoq	to be begun (infinitive)
boshlang'ich	beginning, elementary

2. Grammatical suffixes

Grammatical functions like number, case, mood or tense is accomplished by adding suffixes to words. These grammatical suffixes chage the relationship of one word to other words in a sentence, but they do not change the basic lexical meaning of the word:

Lexical		Grammatical
uy	home	uyda	at home
uylamoq	to marry	uyga keldi	he came home
uylanmoq	to get married	uylandi	he got married

3. Plural suffix

The Uzbek language plural suffix -lar is added to nominals to indicate that there is more than one subject or object, but also to verbals to indicate that there is mor than one subject. But NOTE that after a numeral, the plural suffix is not added to nominals:

qiz	daughter	keldi	he came
qizlar	daughters	keldilar	they came
uch qiz	three daughters

4. Case suffixes

Case suffixes express relationships between nominals and verbals and are equivalent to English 'to', 'in', 'from' and other ideas:

o'g'il	son	o'g'ilga	to the son
xalq	people	xalqdan	from the people
kitob	book	kitobda	in the book

5. Possession suffixes

Uzbek has several means of expressing possession. One means require adding possessive suffixes to a nominal:

kitobim	my book	kitobimiz	our book
kitobing	your book	kitobingiz	your book

(singular) - (plural)

A second means requires the possessive relationship construction.
In Uzbek, the possessor of an object is placed first, often with the suffix -ning, while the person or object possessed is placed second, always with the suffex -i or -si (plural -lari). The Uzbek equivalent of an English phrase like 'my daughter's book' is the following:

qizimning kitobi

daughter+my+of book+her= my daughter's book

6. Infitive suffix

The Uzbek equivalent of the English infinitive of verbs ('to enter', 'to see', etc.) is created by adding suffix -moq to the verbal root. Without this or other suffixes, the verbal root express the familiar or at times impolite imperative mood:

kirmoq	to enter (infinitive)
kir!	enter (singular, familiar, impolite)

7. Mood suffixes

To express moods like the imperative or the conditional, Uzbek adds suffixes to verbal roots:

kiring!	come in! (singular, familiar, polite)
kirsa	if he enters

8. Tense suffixes

In Uzbek, tenses like past, present, and future are formed by adding suffixes to a verbal root, including the past tense suffix -di:

kelmoq	to come (infinitive)
keldi	he came

Uzbek combines the meanings of English present and future tenses into one idea that is expressed by the suffix -a or -y. This present-future tense indicates hat an action occurs as a habit in the present and may occur at some point in the future:

o'qimoq	to read (infinitive)
o'qiydi	he reads (as a habit), he will read (tomorrow)

Enjoy learning and practicing, if there are questions, please don't hesitate to post in the comments!
