The address; punctuation with addresses

If the address stands at the beginning or end of a sentence, it is separated by a comma on one side: “Ota, menga yordam bering”, “Menga yordam bering, ota”. If it comes in the middle, it is separated by commas on both sides: “Menga, ota, yordam bering”. If an interjection like “ey”, “hoy”, “yo” comes before the address, no comma is put between the interjection and the address: “Ey farzand, o‘qishdan zerikma”. If the address is emotional at the end of a sentence, an exclamation mark may follow: “Xayr, do‘stlarim!” The commonest error is writing an address without separating it or mistaking it for a subject: written without a comma, “Aka mehmon keldi” (instead of “Aka, mehmon keldi”) is read as one person, “brother-guest”, who came.
