In this lesson, you will learn how to say in Uzbek the names of objects we see in almost any classroom: blackboard, chair, laptop, door, dictionary, and more. You will learn how to ask “What is this?” and hear the correct pronunciation of the words from native Uzbek speakers. This lesson is suitable for beginners (A1 level) and is part of my Uzbek self-study course for English speakers.
How in Uzbek to call objects that that we find in almost every classroom? How to ask about these items? We can learn about it from my 15th lesson. The lesson, like others, contains audio from native Uzbek speakers.
sinf/ sinfxona – class/ classroom
Sinfdagi jihozlar / Sinfdagi narsalar (Classroom equipment / Objects in the classroom)
-gi — a suffix that also forms adjectives from nouns and adverbs
Exercise 1. Listen and insert the words from the list to complete the conversation. Then read and act out the dialogue.
Words: O’zbek, Harflab, qanday, Kitob
Talaba: 1__________ tilida “book” 2_____________ bo‘ladi?
O’qituvchi: 3________________.
Talaba: 4______________ ayting, iltimos.
O’qituvchi: K-I-T-O-B.
Note: “Harflab” means “letter by letter” or “spell it.”
Exercise 2. Listen and repeat the words. Then cover them, look at the pictures, and name the objects.
O‘zbekcha – Translation

qog‘oz parchasi — sheet of paper
palto — coat
noutbuk (leptop) — laptop

Exercise 3. In pairs, point to classroom objects (use bu if it’s near, u if it’s far) or use the pictures above and do the following dialogues:
A: Bu nima? (What is this?)
B: Bu taxta. (This is a blackboard.)
A: Harflab ayting, iltimos. (Spell it, please.)
B: T-A-X-T-A.
Another very useful exercise.
Exercise 4. Write the words — only the first letters are given.
Now you know how to say 11 classroom items in Uzbek. Check yourself: can you remember how to say “door” or “sheet of paper” in Uzbek without any hints? Repeat the words aloud, write them down, practice dialogues with a partner — and move on to the next lesson about what is said in class.
