Order of sentence parts; the text “So‘z sehri”

In Uzbek the position of sentence parts is fairly free, but there is also a usual order. Normally the subject with its dependent parts stands at the beginning and the predicate at the end; the hol and object come before the predicate, and the attribute before the word it modifies: “Akam kecha kutubxonadan kitob oldi”. If the speaker wants to stress a part, he or she moves it right before the predicate, and its meaning becomes stronger. Scientific and official texts keep the usual order; in conversation, artistic speech and especially poetry the order often changes. The predicate may even move to the beginning: “Keldi bahor”.
