Formal Correspondence Style
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Formal Uzbek requires specific honorifics, passive voice, and avoiding personal pronouns to maintain professional distance.
- Use 'Siz' (formal you) instead of 'Sen' (informal you).
- Prefer passive voice constructions to sound objective.
- Use formal verb suffixes like '-moqda' or '-gan bo'lar edik'.
