Expressing Agreement[edit | edit source]
When you agree with someone's opinion, you can use the following expressions:
| Southern Uzbek | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Мен ҳам тўғри кўраман. | men ham tog'ri ko'raman. | I also see it that way. |
| Мен ҳам шундай деб қўлайдим. | men ham shunday deb qo'lajdim. | I also think so. |
| Абсолют тўғри. | absolut tog'ri. | Absolutely right. |
