10 questionsDemoq means 'to say' in Uzbek. It's a very common verb you'll use a lot.
Here's a basic present tense conjugation:
Men deyman (I say)
Sen deysan (You say - singular, informal)
U deydi (He/She/It says)
Biz deymiz (We say)
Siz deysiz (You say - plural/formal)
Ular deyishadi (They say)
Yes, absolutely! It's the primary verb for quoting. For example, 'U 'Salom' dedi.' (He said 'Hello.')
Yes, there is. Demoq is 'to say' something specific, often a direct quote or a specific statement. Gapirmoq is more general, meaning 'to speak' or 'to talk'. Think of it like the difference between 'say' and 'speak' in English.
You would say: 'Nima dedingiz?' (What did you say? - formal/plural) or 'Nima deding?' (What did you say? - informal/singular).
One common phrase is 'Ha demoq' (to say yes) or 'Yo'q demoq' (to say no). Also, 'Nima demoqchisan?' (What do you mean / What are you trying to say?)
Like most Uzbek verbs, demoq changes its endings depending on the tense, person, and number. You'll learn these patterns as you go. The root 'de-' is quite consistent.
You can say 'U shunday dedi...' (He said so...) or 'U aytdiki...' (He said that...). While 'demoq' is for direct quotes, for indirect speech or general 'saying that', 'aytmoq' (to tell) is often used.
The most common past tense forms are:
Men dedim (I said)
Sen deding (You said - singular, informal)
U dedi (He/She/It said)
Not directly in the sense of 'Say!' You'd typically use 'aytmoq' for commands like 'Ayting!' (Say it! / Tell it!). However, you might hear constructions like 'Nima desam ekan?' (What should I say?).

The sentence describes a past action: 'The leader said...'. The simple past tense 'dedi' is appropriate here.

The imperfect tense 'derdi' implies a repeated or habitual action in the past: 'he used to say.'

This describes a habitual action in the present, so the simple present tense 'deydi' (he says) is correct.
