  • D → d if the verb stem ends in a voiced consonant (b d g gh j etc.)
  • I → i if the last syllable of the verb stem ends in an unrounded vowel (a e ë i): tim, ting, tingiz, tuq, tinglar, ti, or dim, ding, dingiz, duq, dinglar, di.
  • I → u if the last vowel of the verb stem if is back and rounded (o, u): dum, dung, dunglar (or tum, tung etc.)
  • I → ü if the last vowel of the verb stem is front and rounded (ö, ü): düm, düng, dünglar (or tüm, düng etc.)
  • First person plural -duq never varies. (see Lesson 4, in Present-Future -Am-duq

Example: ﻛۆر "kur" - see

  • كۆر<v><ifi><p1><sg> ↔ ﻛۆردۈم
  • كۆر<v><ifi><p1><pl> ↔ ﻛۆردۇق
  • كۆر<v><ifi><p2><sg><pol> ↔ ﻛۆردۈڭ

  • كۆر<v><ifi><p3> ↔ ﻛۆردى

Copulas

Copulas are used to link the subject of a sentence to the clause corresponding to it. In Uyghur, some sentences do not require the use of copulas. For example, the phrase بۇ كىتاب (this is a book), does not need a copula because the future-present tense does not necessitate it. Uyghur copulas can convey a lot of information about a phrase, such as mood or tense.
