Explanation

A verb changes to match the person and number of its subject. Past: yozdim, yozding, yozdi; yozdik, yozdingiz, yozdilar. Present: yozyapman, yozyapsan, yozyapti; yozyapmiz, yozyapsiz, yozyaptilar. Future: yozmoqchiman, yozmoqchisan, yozmoqchi; yozmoqchimiz, yozmoqchisiz, yozmoqchilar. Person-number suffixes: -m, -man, -ng, -san, -k, -miz, -ngiz, -siz and in the 3rd person -di (-lar). The verb agrees with the personal pronoun: men yozdim, biz yozdik.
