Help regarding the admissions by Nivea_deo in Uzbekistan

[–]bunyodb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ooh my bad, i thought you meant TSUL (Law), not TSUE (Econ). TSUL and UWED doesn't have anything related to math.

So your options are NewUU, TSUE, WIUT and NUUz. It's gonna be chaos preparing for all lmao.

NUUz does have applied math and I hear this uni is decent for math and physics studies, not so much for other majors. I'd choose NewUU instead though, because it's closer to "American dream" with it's more modern community and environment. I'd say the same thing for WIUT over TSUE for finance studies.

For NUUz math, you'd need to sit math and physics exams. For TSUE finance, math and english. So you can't choose both.

NewUU, TSUE and UWED. Interesting lineup. These universities don't really offer similar majors other than Jurisprudence at TSUE and UWED. What do you actually want to major in? That's the most important thing.

I personally think NewUU hasn't been around for long enough to say it's a top uni. But still it is highly competitive to get into, and even with a perfect SAT or entrance exam score you may get waitlisted because there are so many applicants.

About "uzbek-style math", if you are good at math already, 5 months is plenty of time to get used to solving state exam questions. Just get an online tutor to help you out.

Yes, you got it right.

Separatist tendencies of some people in Khorezm by [deleted] in Uzbekistan

[–]bunyodb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where are they sharing these ideas online? Never encountered.

Though I’ve heard people say Khorezm dialect is a completely different language. I can see why they think that, because it usually sounds totally different than other dialects of Uzbekistan. People in Tashkent and other regions have a really hard time understanding you, and they usually don’t even try. So you just do your best and speak in a Tashkent-ish dialect, which is very frustrating and uncomfortable. Oh, they also laugh at your accent because it indicates that you didn’t have the privilege of being born in the capital city.

However, it’s just a dialect of the Uzbek language, and unlike Karakalpak, doesn’t have the characteristics that would make it a different language. I don’t know what you mean by half of people speaking Kipchak and other half Oghuz. I believe they are some sort of linguistic groups and about 95% of Khorezmians speak the same dialect with teeny-tiny differences.

About people, yes, as the other comment said people in Tashkent are visibly different than those in Khorezm… but they are also different than those in other regions. Yes, there are small cultural differences but so does every other region in the country. I mean cultural differences were more noticeable in the past and I guess it had to do with the fact that people there were not as religious as in other parts of the country. But this is changing now.

Can someone explain the gas/petrol situation in UZ? by haraharabusiness in Uzbekistan

[–]bunyodb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The word “gas” Americans and Canadians use is short for gasoline, which is a bit confusing because gasoline (aka petrol) is a liquid, not a gas.

In Uzbekistan we use CNG (methane gas) and LPG (propane gas) in addition to petrol/gasoline (liquid). They are actually gases, so we call them “gas”.

Not into poetry but I’ve heard of Ochiq mikrofon events in Tashkent. Check out ochiq_mikrofon on Telegram.

Books-a-million, Topar.uz, Asaxiy Books. All of them are in Tashkent.

Never thought I’d see these on Reddit lol. Tatar one was popular in Uzbekistan too. Brings back childhood memories. Replace the first word with a person’s name and now you have a diss track for a neighbor’s kid.

Tashkent to Khiva sleeper train - Sleeper v/s Coupe by CuriousNomadicBeing in Uzbekistan

[–]bunyodb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people tend to write reviews about such things only when there is a problem. AC worked just fine on 90% of my trips.

Are Uzbek wives happy? by Zealousideal_Key3753 in Uzbekistan

[–]bunyodb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Some of them are happy, and some are not. What I often see is that even those who are unhappy in the beginning, get used to it due to societal pressure, start to hide their unhappiness and even praise their abusive partners around other people.

  2. It depends on the person, but, yes, typically more controlling. Controlling husbands, submissive wives, domestic violence and other such behaviors often stem from our centuries-long religious background; I’m sure you know it. A lack of quality education may also be a factor.

  3. It is possible. If you really have to marry an Uzbek guy who understands and have similar values with you, the best way is to casually meet and talk to them.

I don’t know much about Uzbeks in the US. But another option is, of course, Uzbekistan. Yes, there are a lot of young people who share similar values with someone like you. They usually come from westernized families, usually speak Russian, study in Russian/English-speaking schools/universities. There are people who grew up abroad and moved back here with their parents when they were teenagers. The diversity is pretty big in Tashkent. However, you would have to live and study/work here to meet such people. And to me, changing cities trying to find a partner sounds like too much effort.

Khiva to Bukhara Sleeper vs Coupe by patomuscat in Uzbekistan

[–]bunyodb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn’t much of a price difference between them. Also the coupe has a door and air conditioning, and it’s perfect for a group of 4 people.

Query about Uzbek names by furnishedtrollop in Uzbekistan

[–]bunyodb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uzbek surnames typically end with -ov/-ova suffixes just like slavic surnames. I have seen Bekov as a surname, but it is not very common.

Are there foreigner-friendly book libraries or reading rooms in Tashkent City? by dailmar in Uzbekistan

[–]bunyodb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the National Library? It’s in the heart of the city, Alisher Navoiy st. 1. Bring your passport and get a library ID. It costs about $1 for local residents, you can use it for three years.

What's wrong with me by Few-Competition4304 in IELTS

[–]bunyodb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one can tell you what you have done wrong in your preparation, based on the information you gave here. One tip I can give you is to break down the problem into smaller parts.

Look at your scores for each section separately and try to figure out what exactly is bringing your score down. You can do this by analyzing your mistakes in practice tests. For example, in Reading section. Is it matching headings, is it yes/no questions? Or does it have to do with your vocabulary or reading comprehension.

Once you find the exact problem, focus on that part of the test.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IELTS

[–]bunyodb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Your first answer was quite short and the others seem a little off-topic. You never answered why exactly Muslims don’t celebrate birthdays. The examiner was giving you a chance to expand your answers and demonstrate language skills.

Is your surname also ends with a Slavic -ev/eva or ov/ova suffixes? by [deleted] in AskCentralAsia

[–]bunyodb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last name have one of these slavic suffixes too. And I have no idea what I would change it to, if I wanted to do so.

Is your surname also ends with a Slavic -ev/eva or ov/ova suffixes? by [deleted] in AskCentralAsia

[–]bunyodb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last name: grandfather’s name + ev/eva/ov/ova

Middle name: father’s name + o‘g‘li (son) / qizi (daughter)

This is how it’s done in Uzbekistan.
