KOREAN EXPRESSIONS FOR UZBEK "HAVE/NOT"
Keywords:
Korean, Possession,Abstract
This article investigates the various Korean expressions used to translate the Uzbek concepts of "have" and "not have," analyzing the semantic and grammatical nuances that differentiate them. It examines the core Korean verbs for possession, 있다 (itta) and 없다 (eopda), and explores alternative constructions using auxiliary verbs, adjectival predicates, and idiomatic expressions that convey similar meanings. The study focuses on how these Korean expressions map onto the diverse range of possessive relationships expressed in Uzbek, considering factors such as alienable vs. inalienable possession, location, and abstract possession. Furthermore, it analyzes the pragmatic considerations that influence the choice of specific Korean expressions in different communicative contexts. By providing a detailed comparison of Korean and Uzbek possessive constructions, this paper aims to offer valuable insights for language learners, translators, and linguists interested in cross-linguistic semantic variation.
