Understanding the Present Perfect Tense in Azerbaijani
The Present Perfect Tense in Azerbaijani is used to talk about actions that happened at some time in the past and are connected to the present. It's like saying something has happened, but we don't say exactly when it happened.
Important Points
- It is used to express actions that have been completed recently.
- It shows actions that have an effect on the present moment.
- It is used when the exact time of the action is not important.
To form the Present Perfect Tense in Azerbaijani, we use the auxiliary verb 'olmaq' in the present tense and the past participle of the main verb. Here is how you can form it:
Important Points
- Take the root of the verb.
- Add the suffix '-ıb', '-ib', '-ub', or '-üb' depending on vowel harmony.
- Use the present form of 'olmaq' (olmuşam, olmusan, olmuşdur, etc.).
Examples
- Mən məktubu yazmışam.
- O, kitabı oxuyub.
- Biz gəlmişik.
These examples show how the Present Perfect Tense tells us something has happened and is still relevant. Remember, we don't say when it happened exactly, just that it did.
Examples
- Siz getmisiniz.
- Onlar evdə olublar.
- O, məktubu göndərib.
