Explanation
A sentence with a subject is called egali, one without a subject egasiz. There are three kinds of subjectless sentences. In a definite-person sentence the subject is not said, but we learn it from the person-number suffix of the predicate (“Ertaga kelaman”). In a generalised-person sentence the idea applies to anyone; such sentences are frequent in proverbs and sayings (“Ekkaningni o‘rasan”). In an indefinite-person sentence who performs the action is neither said nor known: the predicate is often a passive verb or an impersonal form (“Yig‘ilishda yangi qoidalar muhokama qilindi”, “Vaqtni behuda o‘tkazib bo‘lmaydi”). The textbook also includes naming sentences and word-sentences in this kind.
