Radif, tuyuq and tajnis
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
Write the definition of radif and its two kinds, finding your own example for each.
Words repeated after the rhyme; short – one word, extended – several words.
2
Why can a radif not exist without rhyme? Explain.
Because the radif comes after and follows the rhyme; without rhyme it has no place.
3
Learn the four requirements of the tuyuq and explain why tajnis was added to them.
The fourth was added later and the tuyuq’s rhyme rests on tajnis.
4
Make two sentences for each of three same-form words.
For example: ot, yoz, qo‘y.
5
State one difference between tajnis and a homonym.
A homonym is fixed in the language; in tajnis the poet may create a one-time same-form pair.
