138 words on the topic

  • hozir
    right now
    "Right now": "hozir boraman" — I am going now. The answer to "when?" is a short hozir.
  • soat
    clock
    Both the watch on the wrist and the clock on the tower. "Soat nechi?" — "what time is it?" — is literally "hour how-many".
  • kun
    day
    Day and "daylight" at once. From it comes "bugun" — today: bu and kun merged into one word.
  • bugun
    today
    "This day" in one word: bu (this) plus kun (day). The pair "kecha" — yesterday — follows the same logic.
  • ertaga
    tomorrow
    From "ertalab" — morning: tomorrow begins at the same dawn. "Ertaga" is the polite promise: "tomorrow I will do it".
  • kecha
    yesterday
    "Yesterday" and "evening" are neighboring words: kecha against kech. The difference is one final syllable.
  • ertalab
    morning
    The morning starts early: the first tea comes before the heat. From the same root comes "ertaga" — tomorrow: both words from one dawn.
  • kechqurun
    evening
    The evening is the time of guests and long tea. The word is long, the meaning the same: kech — evening.
  • tun
    night
    One syllable. In summer people sleep in the yard: a tapchan, tea and talk under the stars.
  • har kun
    every day
    Literally "every day": har — every. "Har kun choy" is a ritual, not a beverage.
  • nonushta
    breakfast
    Literally "bread-dawn": non — flatbread, ushta — the morning meal. Breakfast here is tea, flatbread and honey, unhurried.
  • tushlik
    lunch
    From "tush" — midday: lunch falls in the very heat, and the rest after it is sacred. The main meal of the day.
  • kechki ovqat
    dinner
    Literally "evening food": "kechki" — evening. Dinner is light: tea, flatbread, cheese — and a long talk.
  • kuniga ikki marta
    twice a day
    Literally "onto the day two times": "kuniga" — per day, "marta" — time. The order runs opposite to English, but a week is enough to get used.
  • soat nechada?
    what time?
    Literally "hour at how-many": "necha" — how many, "-da" — at. The answer takes -da too: "soat oʻnda" — at ten.
  • kech boʻldi
    it is late already
    Literally "it became late": the past -di on "to be" is the most used of all. "Kech boʻldi, men uxlaman" — it is late, I am off to sleep.
  • avval
    first
    It opens the row "avval — soʻngra — nihoyat". Do not confuse with avvalo: avval — the queue in time, avvalo — the importance of the argument.
  • soʻngra
    then
    Literally "after that": written as one word and standing at the start of the second part. In speech it is often cut to soʻng.
  • shundan soʻng
    after that
    Literally "after this": -dan says "after". A separate "shu soʻng" does not exist: the link is held exactly by shundan.
  • nihoyat
    finally
    It carries relief after a long wait and often stands alone, as an exclamation: "Nihoyat!". The ordinal "finally" in a list is oxirgi.
  • paytida
    while
    payt — a moment, time; -da — "in". It glues to the verb in the "-gan" form: "koʻrgan paytida" — while watching. To whom at that time — the second half of the phrase.
  • bir vaqtda
    simultaneously
    Literally "at one time": vaqt — time. Simultaneous with what is said by -bilan: "bir vaqtda u bilan" — at the same time as him.
  • oldin
    before
    oldin — earlier, ahead. The link "-ishidan oldin" builds "before": "kelishidan oldin" — before he comes. No future tense is needed here.
  • keyin
    after
    keyin — after. The link "-ganidan keyin" builds "after": "yeganidan keyin" — after he ate. A lone keyin means "then" about the order of events.
  • kelishi bilan
    as soon as
    Literally "with his coming": -bilan — "with". The formula "-ishi bilan" glues to any verb: "tugashi bilan" — as soon as it ends.
  • oʻshandan beri
    since then
    Literally "from that time": beri — "since, starting from". It opens the phrase and demands a past in the first half of the story.
  • doimo
    always
    A synonym — hamisha, one sense. The usual place — before the verb: "doimo keladi". The boost "doimo doimo" sounds like an oath.
  • koʻpincha
    often
    a rounded oʻ
  • kamdan-kam
    rarely
    Literally "from rare — rare": the word is doubled, like the steps of a rare guest. Written with a hyphen and stands before the verb.
  • baʼzan
    sometimes
    The ʼ splits the syllables. It is written baʼzan, and straight apostrophes do not occur in the course at all: this is neither "bazan" nor "baʼzan" with a foreign mark.
  • hech qachon
    never
    The double negation is obligatory, as in English: "hech qachon …mayman". Without the negation the phrase is wrong.
  • odatda
    usually
    From odat — habit, custom: literally "by custom". It stands before the verb and describes the habit, not today's exception.
  • uzoq vaqt
    for a long time
    Literally "a long time": uzoq — far and long at once, the second word tells them apart. "Kutdim" already speaks the past: waited and stopped waiting.
  • har safar
    every time
    safar — a trip, but in the frame "har safar" it is "every time": the word took the foreign sense whole. The continuation — through "-ganda": "borganda" — when you go.
  • vaqt-vaqti bilan
    from time to time
    Literally "with time — with time": the word is doubled. The shorter everyday substitute is baʼzan, but the shades differ: this one marks a rhythm, not a single occasion.
  • hozirgacha
    until now
    Literally "until now": hozir — now, -gacha — "up to". So it means "up to this moment" and speaks of what has not happened yet.
  • toʻsatdan
    suddenly
    a rounded oʻ between o and yo
  • oldindan
    in advance
    Literally "from ahead": oldin — ahead, and -dan turns direction into "beforehand". It lives after the verb: to book in advance — band qilmoq oldindan.
  • oʻz vaqtida
    on time
    a rounded oʻ between o and yo
  • shoshilinch
    urgent
    From shoshmoq — to hurry: literally "hurrying". On signs it lives in shoshilinch yordam — the ambulance, literally "hurrying help".
  • darhol
    immediately
    One word for "at once": stronger than tez — fast. In papers it sounds like an order: darhol javob bering — answer immediately.
  • asta-sekin
    gradually
    Literally "little by little": the word is doubled with a hyphen, like kamdan-kam. The livelier synonym is sekin-sekin — slowly by slow.
  • oxirgi lahzada
    at the last moment
    lahza — a moment, oxirgi — last: literally "in the last instant". It usually stands at the end of the phrase and always sounds like an adventure.
  • bir kuni
    sooner or later
    Literally "one fine day": the count runs from the moment, not from the days. The boost comes from baribir: sooner or later they will find out anyway.
  • bir kuni
    once
    Literally "of one day": the tail -i belongs to kun, not to you. So stories are told: bir kuni… — once upon a day…
  • bolalikda
    in childhood
    The same bolalik plus the suffix of place -da: time lives where place does. Yoshlikda — in youth, by the same scheme.
  • oʻsha paytlarda
    back then
    a rounded oʻ in oʻsha
  • bu qadim boʻlgan
    it was long ago
    a deep throat q and a rounded oʻ
  • birinchi marta
    the first time
    Marta — a time, a counting word: after it the noun does not change. The second time is ikkinchi marta — the row goes evenly.
  • kelajak
    the future
    From kelmoq — to come: the future is what will come. The pair with oʻtmish — the past — is built on two verbs of motion.
  • oʻtmish
    the past
    a rounded oʻ between o and yo
  • yaqin rejalar
    near-term plans
    Literally "close plans": yaqin you know as "near". Reja — a plan, a borrowing, like kurs.
  • bir yildan keyin
    in a year
    Literally "after one year": keyin — after, and the tail -dan holds the word. Bir haftadan keyin — in a week, the same scheme.
  • doim
    constantly
    One syllable for "always" and "constantly": doim shunday — always so. The opposite — hech qachon, never.
  • vaqtincha
    temporarily
    From vaqt — time: the temporariness sits straight in the word. A sign on a closed shop almost always begins with this word.
  • qulay vaqt
    a convenient time
    Qulay — convenient, about a chair and about time at once. They ask politely: Qaysi vaqt sizga qulay? — which time suits you?
  • vaqtni belgilamoq
    to set a time
    Literally "to mark the time": belgilamoq — to mark, to put a mark. By the same verb a date is set and a place marked on the map.
  • tushdan keyin
    in the afternoon
    Literally "after noon": tush — noon. Five English words here are two: after noon and "in the afternoon" are one.
  • kechqurunga yaqin
    toward evening
    Literally "close to evening": kechqurun you know, -ga adds direction, yaqin — nearness. Guests come toward evening here.
  • istagan vaqtda
    at any time
    Literally "at the desired time": istagan — the participle of istamoq, to want. Qachon istasangiz — whenever you want — the same root.
  • beshdan oldin emas
    not before five
    Literally "before five — no": oldin — before, emas — not. The negation of time is a separate word, not a suffix.
  • vaqtida kelaman
    I will be on time
    Literally "in time I will come": vaqtida — on time, the same vaqt with a suffix. To be late is kechikmoq — the same root as "postpone".
  • gacha
    until
    The tail -gacha — "up to": kechqacha — until evening. About an event they say -guncha: kelishigacha — until he comes. The English "until" hides in the tail.
  • asr
    century
    A century. The past century — "oʻtgan asr", and with the word "asrlar" comes "centuries, age-old traditions".
  • davr
    era

  • oʻn yillik
    decade
    a rounded oʻ between o and yo
  • muddat
    period
    Both a term and a period: "toʻlov muddati" — the payment term you saw; here the same word about a stretch of time in general.
  • lahza
    moment
    h as a light breath
  • davomiy
    lasting
    From davom etmoq — to last: the one that stretches long. Rain, illness, repair — all can be "davomiy".

  • azaldan
    from time immemorial

    Literally "day with each": day after day. The tail "-sayin" is added to any stretch: "yil sayin" — year after year.
  • muntazam
    regularly
    By schedule, without omissions: "muntazam" about medicines, workouts and checkups. So it is written in a prescription.
  • birinchi bor
    for the first time

  • qaytadan
    anew
    the deep throat q at the start
  • tez-tez
    more and more often

  • mushkul
    hard
    the deep throat q at the end
  • hozirgina
    just now
    Assembled of "hozir" — now, and the booster -gina: "right this minute". So one accounts for being late.
  • ertalabda
    in the morning
    e at the start is a clear e
  • kunduzi
    in the daytime
    Kunduz — the light part of the day; the tail -i makes an adverb of it. "Tushdan keyin" stands for the second half of the day — that is another matter.
  • kechqurunda
    in the evening
    "Kechqurun" stands for the evening; the form with -da carries into "when": in the evening. So ertalab became "ertalabda".
  • tunda
    at night
    "Tun" — night, "tunda" — at night: there is no preposition, the tail -da does all the work. The pair of "kunduzi".
  • har kuni

    ever (sometime)
    a deep throat q, deeper than k

How it sounds in a sentence

A word list is a blank. Conversation is made of sentences, and these are the ones the words fit into most often.

What is worth knowing about these words

hozir — right now. "Right now": "hozir boraman" — I am going now. The answer to "when?" is a short hozir.

soat — clock. Both the watch on the wrist and the clock on the tower. "Soat nechi?" — "what time is it?" — is literally "hour how-many".

kun — day. Day and "daylight" at once. From it comes "bugun" — today: bu and kun merged into one word.

bugun — today. "This day" in one word: bu (this) plus kun (day). The pair "kecha" — yesterday — follows the same logic.

Test yourself

Recalling a spelling from meaning is harder than recognizing a familiar word — and therefore more useful.
