Imperatives/Commands

This lesson teaches you how to form commands, such as requesting someone to do something.

Suffixes for Commands

Informal: drop the suffix -moq
Formal: add the suffing -ing to the end of the verb after consonants and -ng after vowels
- For plural, add -lar
- Ex. o'tirmoq - to sit
  - o'tir - informal
  - o'tiring - formal
  - o'tiringlar - formal plural
To negative a command, add -ma to the verb stem
- Ex. o'tirmang
Remember that Uzbek follows Subject + Object + Verb
- Ex. Kitobni eching - Open the book

The accusative case ending -ni is added to the direct object of the verb
If the object is specific, add -ni. If it isn't, do not.
Ex. Kitobni oling! - Take the book! (a specific book)
- Kitob sotib! - Buy a book! (any book)
