Today we will learn the names of at least 15 countries in Uzbek (who knows what country Misr is?) We will also learn to ask where the person is from and answer the same question. We’ll learn to ask and answer where a city is located. Let’s also learn how to use the affixes -dan and -da. And how to say «I don’t know» and «I think/ In my opinion». In this lesson, as in others, there is audio from Uzbek natives.
As usual, part of the lesson from my Uzbek language tutorial is available to everyone, and part is available to site donors. Also, only donors (it’s not expensive — from $3 per month) have access to the answers to the exercises from the previous lesson. So become those who support the site — the benefits are mutual.
