In Uzbek there is 1 way of asking a question to get a yes or no answer, and it is the following:
-Pronoun (Noun) + verb: In Uzbek the verb is always put in the last place of the sentence, and when making a common question, you need to add the ending –mi to the verb:
Uning bo’sh vaqti bormi? (Does she have free time?)
-Finally you can also make a question by adding a tag question to the end of a statement.
Uning bo’sh vaqti bor, to’g’rimi? (She has free time, doesn’t she)
