Learning a new language is an exciting adventure that leads us to discover new cultures and new perspectives. Understanding the past tense is an essential step in mastering a language, and South Azerbaijani is no exception. In this lesson, you will learn how to form the past tense and use it to talk about past events and actions. You will also discover some interesting cultural facts that will help you understand the context in which the language is spoken.
== Introduction ==


== The South Azerbaijani Past Tense ==
Welcome to the lesson on the past tense in South Azerbaijani! In this lesson, we will learn how to form and use the past tense to talk about actions that happened in the past. The past tense is an important aspect of any language, as it allows us to express events and experiences that have already occurred. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently use the past tense in your conversations in South Azerbaijani. So let's get started!


The past tense refers to actions or events that happened in the past.
== Formation of the Past Tense ==


In South Azerbaijani, the past tense is formed by adding a suffix to the verb stem according to the following rule:
To form the past tense in South Azerbaijani, we generally add a suffix to the verb root. The specific suffix used depends on the verb type and the vowel harmony rules of the language. Let's take a look at some examples:


- For regular verbs, add the suffix "-dI" to the verb stem.
=== Regular Verbs ===


For example:
Regular verbs in South Azerbaijani follow a consistent pattern in the formation of the past tense. We add the suffix "-dı" to the verb root for past tense verbs ending in a vowel, and "-di" for past tense verbs ending in a consonant. Here are some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! South Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
! South Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| işləmək (to work) || ishləmək || work (infinitive)
| gəlmək || gəlmək || to come
|-
| işlədi(m) || ishlədi(m) || worked
|-
|-
| işlədin || ishlədin || worked (you)
| gəldı || gəldɪ || came
|-
|-
| işlədi || ishlədi || worked (he/she/it)
| yazmaq || jazmaq || to write
|-
|-
| işlədik || ishlədik || worked (we)
| yazdı || jazdɪ || wrote
|-
|-
| işlədiniz || ishlədiniz || worked (you plural)
| görmək || görmək || to see
|-
|-
| işlədilər || ishlədilər || worked (they)
| gördü || gördʉ || saw
|}
|}


As you can see in the table, the suffix "-dI" is added to the verb stem to form the past tense for each person. For regular verbs, there is no change in the verb root.
As you can see from the examples, the "-dı" suffix is added to the verb root for past tense verbs ending in a vowel, and the "-di" suffix is added for past tense verbs ending in a consonant.


Note that the suffix is different when the verb stem ends with a vowel. In this case, the suffix "-dI" changes to "-dı".
=== Irregular Verbs ===


For example:
Some verbs in South Azerbaijani have irregular forms in the past tense. These verbs do not follow the regular pattern of adding a suffix to the verb root. Instead, they undergo changes in the verb stem or have completely different forms. Here are a few examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! South Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
! South Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| oyna(maq) (to play) || oynamak || play (infinitive)
| etmək || etmək || to do
|-
| oynadım || oynadım || played
|-
|-
| oynadın || oynadın || played (you)
| etdi || etdɪ || did
|-
|-
| oynadı || oynadı || played (he/she/it)
| getmək || getmək || to go
|-
|-
| oynadıq || oynadıq || played (we)
| geddi || geddɪ || went
|-
|-
| oynadınız || oynadınız || played (you plural)
| ola- || ola || to be
|-
|-
| oynadılar || oynadılar || played (they)
| oldu || oldʉ || was
|}
|}


As you can see in the table, the suffix changes to "-dı" when the verb stem ends with a vowel.
As you can see, the verbs "etmək" (to do), "getmək" (to go), and "ola-" (to be) have irregular forms in the past tense. It is important to memorize the irregular forms of these verbs to use them correctly in sentences.
 
It is essential to note that irregular verbs have different rules for forming the past tense. Some verbs change their root while others have irregular suffixes.


For example:
== Usage of the Past Tense ==
 
{| class="wikitable"
! South Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| getmək (to go) || getmək || go (infinitive)
|-
| gəldim || gəldim || came
|-
| gəldin || gəldin || came (you)
|-
| gəldi || gəldi || came (he/she/it)
|-
| gəldik || gəldik || came (we)
|-
| gəldiniz || gəldiniz || came (you plural)
|-
| gəldilər || gəldilər || came (they)
|}


In this example, the verb "getmək" (to go) becomes "gəlmək" (to come) in the past tense, with a root change in the stem.
The past tense is used to talk about actions or events that happened in the past. It allows us to express past experiences, narrate stories, and describe past habits or routines. Let's take a look at some examples:


For irregular verbs, it is important to memorize the past tense forms because they are not formed according to regular patterns.
* I went to the store yesterday.
* She studied for the exam last night.
* We lived in Baku for five years.


== Using the South Azerbaijani Past Tense ==

The past tense is used to talk about events and actions that happened in the past. Here are some examples:
== Cultural Insights ==
