hafta
You already know the word for "day" (kun) and "month" (oy). Now let's add "hafta" to your vocabulary! Hafta means "week" in Uzbek. Like in English, there are seven days in a hafta. You'll use this word often when talking about plans or events.
For example, you could say "keyingi hafta" for "next week" or "o'tgan hafta" for "last week." Understanding "hafta" is a great step in building your foundational Uzbek vocabulary.
When discussing the duration of something in Uzbek, for instance, indicating that an event occurs once a week, we utilize the dative case for the word hafta, which becomes haftaga. To denote 'once a week', we pair haftaga with bir (one), forming haftaga bir. Similarly, 'twice a week' would be haftaga ikki, and 'three times a week' is expressed as haftaga uch.
It's important to remember that this construction is specific to expressing frequency within a week. For simply stating 'one week', you would just say bir hafta. So, the addition of the dative suffix -ga is key to conveying the 'per week' meaning.
