Stylistics of tense suffixes

The tense forms of the verb show that an action is in the past, present or future. But according to style and speech situation tense forms can change places and their meaning can shift. Of the present-tense forms -yapti belongs to conversation, -moqda to written text and -yotir to poetic speech; the future form in -ajak gives solemnity. In conversation the past form in -di sometimes stands in place of the present or future: «Men ketdim, xayr!» (“I’m off, bye!”, I am leaving now), «Yuring, ketdik!» (“Come on, let’s go!”, we will go). In artistic and colloquial speech narrating a past event in the present tense (the historical present) makes the account lively. In the scientific style the present-future form (-a, -y) shows not a definite time but a general and habitual state: «Ravish harakatning belgisini bildiradi» (“The adverb denotes a feature of an action”).
