The shop question. Tajik uses present-tense "have" (dorad/daram) for possession. "Shomo non dorad?" (Do you have bread?) covers any item.
The place goes first: бозор куҷост? (bo-ZOR ku-JOST), where is the market?
Literally "one bag?". Bags cost a few diram (small coins). Tajiks bring their own bags less than in Northern Europe but it is becoming normal.
Bargaining is expected at the bazaar.
Literally "may I ...?".
