Hi South Azerbaijani learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to use "have" in South Azerbaijani Grammar. "Have" is an important verb that is used to express ownership, possession, and relationship between objects or people. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to correctly use "have" in different contexts. We will provide you with cultural information and interesting facts along the way. Let's get started!
Introduction[edit | edit source]
The verb "have" is an essential verb in many languages, including South Azerbaijani. It can be used in various contexts, such as talking about possessions, experiences, and relationships. For example, in English, "I have a car" or "I have been to Paris" both use "have" as a helping verb to complete the sentence. So, in South Azerbaijani, we use "dar" as the equivalent helping verb of "have."
To gain more proficiency in South Azerbaijani, knowing how to use "dar" is essential. You can also use Polyglot Club to find native speakers and ask them any questions.

Using "Dar"[edit | edit source]
In South Azerbaijani, we use "Dar" to signify having something. We use it to denote both ownership and relationships and experiences. Let's look at some examples:
| South Azerbaijani | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| من چوقورومو دارام. | Man choghorumu dar-əm. | I have a garden. |
| آنا دوستون دارد. | Ana dostun dar-d. | Ana has a friend. |
| بیلیمیزی باشقا داریق. | Bilmiz-i Bashqa dar-iq. | We have different opinions. |
| آنا سفر کرده‌ای. | Ana səfr kərdə-yi. | Ana has traveled. |
Notice that we use "dar" in both singular and plural forms. Additionally, we use different forms of "dar" depending on the accompanying noun. For instance, we say "choghoru-mu dar-əm" to denote ownership of the garden, while we say "dostun dar-d" to denote Ana having a friend. Similarly, in the last example, we use "kərdə-yi" to show Ana traveled.
Using "Dar" with Adjectives[edit | edit source]
We can also use "dar" with adjectives to specify possession. Some examples are:
| South Azerbaijani | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| من تازه چای دارم. | Man tazə chay dar-əm. | I have fresh tea. |
| ساقلی‌نیسین درسینی داره. | Saqlinisin dirsini dar-e. | Saqlinisin has a good memory. |
These two examples show us how we can use "dar" with adjectives, such as "tazə" (fresh) and "dirs" (good). In the second example, "Saqlinisin" uses "dar-e" instead of "dar-d" to signify possession because of the adjective "dirs."
Using "Dar" with Pronouns[edit | edit source]
In South Azerbaijani, we can also use "dar" with pronouns to show possession. Here are some examples:
| South Azerbaijani | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ما شوماریموز داریق. | Ma shumari-muz dar-iq. | We have our own rules. |
| سین دوزمز داره. | Sin dozmaz dar-e. | You have your stubbornness. |
In these examples, we see how we can use "dar" with pronouns, such as "ma" (we) and "sin" (you). Notice how "sin" uses "dar-e" instead of "dar-d" because of the accompanying adjective, "dozmaz" (stubborn).
Using "Dar" with Compound Verbs[edit | edit source]
South Azerbaijani has a unique structure when it comes to compound verbs, and "dar" also plays an essential role in this case. Here are some examples:
| South Azerbaijani | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| من قابلی دارم. | Man qabili dar-am. | I am capable. |
| آنا بیلیمی آنلاين گتیردی. | Ana bili-mi onlain getir-d-i. | Ana has brought her education online. |
In these examples, we can see how compound verbs use "dar" to give different meanings to the verbs. A person who is "qabili dar-am" is capable, while someone who has "bili-mi onlain getir-d-i" has brought their education online.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
- Person 1: مین برونجی دارام. (I have a house)
- Person 2: که‌ندآشمی کوچه‌سینده داریم. (We have a shop in the alleyway)
- Person 1: خوشالیقم اوز داراد. (He has his own joy)
- Person 2: برونجی نی یئریمزدان داراد. (My cousin has a shop)
