Uzbek lessons (tutorial): #13 Listening and speaking, with audio

In Lesson 13 from my Uzbek language tutorial, we listen and speak in Uzbek a lot. We understand by ear the difference between -dan and -da. We ask questions in Uzbek like “Where is he from?”, “Where is it?”, “Is he from Egypt?” and we also answer them in Uzbek. In the new lesson, as in others, there is audio from native Uzbek speakers.

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.

Let’s listen and speak in Uzbek

Exercise 1.
Listen and hear the difference between -dan and -da. Then practice saying these sentences.

1 a U Misrdanmi?
b U Misrdami?
2 a U Turkiyadan.

3 a U qayerdan?
b U qayerda?
4 a U yoqimli shahardan.
b U yoqimli shaharda.
5 a U buyuk mamlakatdan.
b U buyuk mamlakatda.
