Gender Grammar Rules
In general, gender is used to distinguish between male and female, sometimes referred to as masculine and feminine. For example: my son and daughter are students the noun [son] is masculine, while [daughter] is feminine. The following examples use gender in different ways and places to demonstrate their behavior.
| Grammar + Rules - Uzbek |
|---|
| my son is a student [masculine + noun] mening o'g'lim talaba |
| her daughter is a student [feminine + noun] uning qizi talaba |
| he has a tall brother [adjective + masculine] uning baland bo'yli akasi/ukasi bor |
| she has a tall sister [adjective + feminine] uning baland bo'yli opasi/singlisi bor |
| his brothers are young [plural masculine + adjective] uning ukalari yosh |
| his sisters are young [plural feminine + adjective] uning singillari yosh |
The list below will probably provide more clarification. These are family members (males and females). I think it would be wise to memorize them as part of your important vocabulary list.
