1In the Tajik phonetic system, how many vowel phonemes (овозҳои садонок) are traditionally distinguished in modern literary Tajik?
A.6 vowels (а, о, у, ӯ, и, э/е)
B.8 vowels (а, о, у, ӯ, и, э, ю, я)
C.10 vowels including all Cyrillic vowel letters
D.4 vowels (а, о, и, у)
Explanation: Literary Tajik has six vowel phonemes: и, э (е), а, о, у and ӯ. The letters я, ё, ю and (after vowels or at the start of a word) е write й plus a vowel, so they do not stand for separate vowel phonemes.
2Which numerative word (нумератив) is used when counting people, as in «панҷ ... донишҷӯ»?
A.сар
B.нафар
C.дона
D.даста
Explanation: The 2021 orthography rules list numeratives that stand between a numeral and a noun: нафар is used for people (ду нафар коргар), сар for animals (панҷ сар асп), дона for single objects (ду дона себ) and даста for bunches (як даста гул).
3Under the 2021 Tajik orthography rules, which letter is written after a consonant inside native words such as меҳр, себ and деҳ?
A.э
B.ё
C.е
D.ӣ
Explanation: The rules state that inside and at the end of words, after consonants, е is written instead of э: меҳр, себ, деҳ, шанбе, се. The letter э is written at the beginning of native words (Эрон, эдун) and in some loanwords (эҷод, дуэт).
4In the compound sentence 'Борон меборид, аммо ҳаво гарм буд' (Rain was falling, but the air was warm), which syntactic relationship connects the two coordinate clauses?
A.Explanatory relationship (пайвасти эзоҳӣ)
B.Subordinate conditional relationship (тобеи шартӣ)
C.Copulative joining relationship (пайвасти пайвасткунанда)
D.Adversative relationship (пайвасти хилофӣ)
Explanation: The conjunction 'аммо' (but/however) introduces an adversative coordination (муносибати хилофӣ) between the two independent clauses, contrasting the rainfall with the persistent warm temperature.
5Under the 2021 Tajik orthography rules, how is the postposition -ро attached to the abbreviation ДМТ?
A.ДМТ-ро
B.ДМТро
C.ДМТ ро
D.ДМТ'ро
Explanation: The rules state that -ро is separated by a hyphen after quotation marks, brackets, abbreviations and numerals: «Шоҳнома»-ро, ДМТ-ро, адади 4-ро. After ordinary words it is written together (китобро).
6Identify the tense-aspect verbal form of 'навишта истода буданд' in literary Tajik:
A.Simple past (замони гузаштаи наздик)
B.Past continuous (замони гузаштаи давомдор)
C.Pluperfect subjunctive
D.Present continuous (замони ҳозираи давомдор)
Explanation: The analytical verb construction consisting of past participle ('навишта'), the present participle of 'истодан' ('истода'), and the past auxiliary 'буданд' forms the past continuous progressive tense, indicating an action in ongoing progress at a reference point in the past.
7In Tajik, how is the comparative degree (дараҷаи қиёсӣ) of the qualitative adjective 'калон' (large/big) formed?
A.Аз ҳама калон
B.Калонтарин
C.Калонтар
D.Бисёр калон
Explanation: The comparative degree of adjectives in Tajik is formed by adding the suffix '-тар' (-tar) to the positive stem: 'калон' -> 'калонтар' (larger/bigger).
8«Ҷое ки об аст, ҳаёт ҳаст.» What type of subordinate clause does this sentence contain?
A.Clause of reason (пайрави сабаб)
B.Clause of time (пайрави замон)
C.Clause of purpose (пайрави мақсад)
D.Clause of place (пайрави макон)
Explanation: «Ҷое ки об аст» states where the main statement holds — where there is water, there is life — so it is a clause of place (пайрави макон), introduced by ҷое ки.
9Under the 2021 Tajik orthography rules, how is фан (subject, field of study) written before the izofa in the phrase 'the subject of language'?
A.фанни забон
B.фани забон
C.фан-и забон
D.фанн забон
Explanation: Loanwords such as фан, ҳад, сир, хат and дур historically had a doubled final consonant. The rules state that the doubling returns when the word takes the izofa or a suffix: фанни забон, ҳадди ақал, сирри ҳарбӣ, хатти алоқа.
10Which of these words is an interrogative pronoun (ҷонишини саволӣ)?
A.касе
B.кадом
C.худ
D.ҳар
Explanation: кадом ('which?') asks a question about a person or thing, so it is an interrogative pronoun, like кӣ?, чӣ? and чанд?.
