1Which of these letters is NOT part of the Tajik alphabet listed in the 2021 orthography rules?
A.ц
B.ҷ
C.ӣ
D.ъ
Explanation: The 2021 rules list the 35 letters of the Tajik alphabet (Аа … Яя). The Russian letter ц is not among them: in loanwords it is written с or тс (семент, конститутсия, милитсия).
2Under the 2021 Tajik orthography rules, how is the ordinal numeral formed from сӣ (thirty) spelled?
A.сӣюм
B.сиюм
C.сиум
D.сӣум
Explanation: When a word ending in ӣ takes a suffix, ӣ is written as и (the rules give сӣ — сиюм, сисола; моҳӣ — моҳиҳо). After a vowel the ordinal suffix has the form -юм (сеюм, сиюм).
3Under the 2021 Tajik orthography rules, how is the plural of шамъ (candle) written?
A.шамҳо
B.шаъмҳо
C.шамъҳо
D.шам-ҳо
Explanation: Words that end in ъ keep it before the plural suffix -ҳо, the conjunction -у and the izofa: шамъҳо, шамъу парвона, ҷамъи мардум, навъи ангур.
4Which of the following compound nouns is spelled correctly according to the official Tajik orthography rules (Қоидаҳои имлои забони тоҷикӣ)?
A.сар вазир (written as two separate words without hyphen)
B.сар-вазир (written with a hyphen)
C.сарвазирӣ (written as an isolated particle followed by suffix)
D.сарвазир (written solid as a single compound word)
Explanation: According to the official orthography rules of the Tajik language, compound titles and designations where the prefix or initial noun component forms a stable lexical unit (e.g., сарвазир, саркотиб, муовини сарвазир) are written as a single compound word ('сарвазир' - prime minister).
5Which group of nouns has two accepted spellings under the 2021 Tajik orthography rules?
A.рӯй//рӯ, мӯй//мӯ, пой//по
B.китоб//китобб, дафтар//даптар
C.дӯст//дуст, гӯш//гуш
D.кӯҳ//куҳ, рӯз//руз
Explanation: The rules name two groups of nouns with double spellings: nouns ending in ҳ (роҳ//раҳ, моҳ//маҳ, шоҳ//шаҳ) and nouns ending in й (рӯй//рӯ, мӯй//мӯ, кӯй//кӯ, ҷӯй//ҷӯ, пой//по, сарой//саро).
6Which pair of words is distinguished only by the contrast between қ [q] and х [χ]?
A.гул — булбул
B.хат — қат
C.хона — дона
D.боғ — доғ
Explanation: хат (letter, line) and қат (fold, layer) differ only in their first consonant: қ is a voiceless uvular stop and х a voiceless fricative, so the two words form a minimal pair.
7When attaching the animate plural suffix '-он' to a Tajik noun ending in a silent vowel '-а' (such as 'банда' or 'парранда'), how is the phonetic assimilation and orthography correctly handled?
A.The -а is kept and -он is added after an apostrophe: банда'он
B.The ending becomes a diphthong: бандайн
C.-а becomes -аг- before the suffix: бандагон, паррандагон
D.The -а is simply replaced by -он: бандон
Explanation: In Tajik historical morphology and orthography, when nouns ending in the silent/short suffix '-а' (historically -ag in Middle Persian) take the animate plural suffix '-он', the intervening historical consonant 'г' resurfaces, yielding '-агон' (e.g., банда -> бандагон; парранда -> паррандагон; нависанда -> нависандагон).
8Which grammatical category is expressed in Tajik nouns primarily through the productive suffixes '-ҳо' and '-он'?
A.Grammatical gender (ҷинс)
B.Case inflection (падеж)
C.Degree of comparison (дараҷа)
D.Number (шумора)
Explanation: Tajik nouns do not possess grammatical gender or case endings. The suffixes '-ҳо' (universal plural) and '-он' (predominantly animate plural) express the grammatical category of number (шумора), transforming singular nouns into the plural (ҷамъ).
9In the sentence «Ман ба бародарам китоб додам», which part is the indirect object (пуркунандаи бавосита)?
A.ба бародарам
B.Ман
C.китоб
D.додам
Explanation: «ба бародарам» is linked to the verb by the preposition ба and answers «ба кӣ?» (to whom?), so it is an indirect object. китоб is the direct object; it has no -ро here because it is indefinite.
10Identify the morphological class of the pronouns 'ин' (this), 'он' (that), 'ҳамин' (this very), and 'ҳамон' (that very) in Tajik grammar:
A.Personal pronouns (ҷонишинҳои шахсӣ)
B.Demonstrative pronouns (ҷонишинҳои ишоратӣ)
C.Interrogative pronouns (ҷонишинҳои саволӣ)
D.Negative pronouns (ҷонишинҳои манфӣ)
Explanation: ин, он, ҳамин and ҳамон point to particular things or people, near or far; they are demonstrative pronouns (ҷонишинҳои ишоратӣ), the term used in NTC sample tasks.
