Tajik grammar rules

Nouns

The grammatical system of Tajik is similar to Persian and Dari. It is an inflected language with some elements of agglutination. Grammatical forms are created by adding various suffixes to fixed stems.

Nouns have no grammatical gender. There are singular and plural forms. There is no definite article, but the indefinite article exists in the form of the number “one” як yak, and -е -e, the first positioned before the noun and the second joining the noun as a suffix.

Verbs

Verbs have the following grammatical categories:

two numbers: singular and plural;
three persons: 1st, 2nd, 3rd;
three moods: indicative, subjunctive, counterfactual conditional;
two aspects: imperfective and perfective, that are as important as tense;
three tenses: present, past, and inferential past that expresses second-hand knowledge, information, or conclusions;

Future is not a tense but a modality. All present and past forms may be used in a future context.

Subject pronouns are usually dropped since the verb form itself carries information about person and number.
