Olmoq

Olmoq is a common Uzbek verb meaning to take, to obtain, to receive, or to fetch. It can refer to physical taking of an object, acquiring something, or accepting something offered. The infinitive form olmoq is built from the stem ol- (to take) plus the infinitive suffix -moq, a basic pattern for Uzbek verbs. As a transitive verb, olmoq typically requires a direct object, which is often marked by the definite suffix -ni in phrases like kitobni olish (to take a book).

Conjugation in Uzbek is formed by attaching person and tense endings to the stem ol-. In the present simple, common forms include olaman (I take), olasan (you take), oladi (he/she takes), olamiz (we take), olasiz (you take), oladilar (they take). For past actions, forms such as oldim (I took) and oldi (he took) are used; more examples include oldik (we took) and oldingiz (you took). Tense and aspect are further expressed with auxiliary constructions or particle systems similar to other Uzbek verbs.

Usage notes and nuances: olmoq is versatile and appears in many everyday expressions. It is used with nouns in the direct object position to indicate taking something, and in some contexts it conveys obtaining or receiving permissions, benefits, or opportunities. The related noun olinish or the verb olish can convey the act or process of obtaining, while the infinitive olmoq often appears in dictionary entries and compound verb formations.

Example sentences:

- Men kitob olaman. I take a book.

- U kitob oldi. He took a book.

- Biz ruxsat oldik. We obtained permission.
