How it works
For "right now" the verb has its own outfit: -yapti instead of the plain -adi. kelmoq → kelyapti — "is coming now", ishlamoq → ishlayapti — "is working now". It covers exactly the ground of the English present continuous.
The person tails are the same: kelyapman — I am coming, kelyapsiz — you are coming, kelyapmiz — we are coming. Only the piece before them changes, and the verb, as always, closes the sentence.
The bookish form of the same tense is -moqda: kelmoqda. In speech you hear -yapti, in newspapers -moqda; the meaning is the same. For someone in pain use the spoken one: Ogʻriyapti — "it hurts right now".
The difference from the plain present is real: keladi — "comes, arrives in general", kelyapti — "is coming right now". For anything in progress, take -yapti.
