Speech styles and stylistic colouring
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
Say the colouring of the words in this row: jilmaymoq, irjaymoq, kulmoq.
Kulmoq – neutral; jilmaymoq – warm, positive; irjaymoq – negative.
2
For a neutral word find two synonyms with positive and negative colouring (use a dictionary).
For example: yuz (face) – chehra (positive); yuz – bet, aft (negative, colloquial).
3
Make three sentences with «taom, ovqat, ne’mat» and say which style each suits.
For example: «Ovqat tayyor» (“The meal is ready”) – neutral; «Dasturxonda xilma-xil taomlar bor» (“There are various dishes on the table”) – artistic/bookish; «Yer ne’matlari bizga mehnat bilan beriladi» (“The gifts of the earth are given to us through labour”) – artistic.

Why do we avoid negatively coloured words when addressing a friend? Write 3 sentences.
A negative word offends; respect and politeness are part of speech culture; a positive or neutral word improves relations.
