#45 Our favourite mistakes: Grammar
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Afandi gilosni yaxshi ko’radi.
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
Afandi likes cherry.
✅ Well, it should be:
Afandi likes cherries.
❓Why?
❗️ Cherries are perfectly countable. You can eat one cherry and then another one and then another one, so there’s no reason why you should use a singular noun here.
❗️ Some fruit are too big to eat one by one, and for those we would use the singular, i.e. melon, watermelon, pumpkin or pineapple. Like, how many watermelons can you eat?
❗️ “I like cherry” could be a correct sentence if you mean “I like cherry flavour”, e.g. What’s your favourite jam? – I like cherry.

#12 Travelogue Uzbekistan: Hotels are windows to the world
A proper hotel should welcome international guests with flags, right? But here's a dilemma – which flags should be chosen? There are many amazing nations that deserve our attention.
The choice is determined by symbolism. Hotels choose flags of big, important or prestigious countries – or whatever flags they can get hold of:
🇺🇿Uzbekistan = the biggest and most important and most prestigious 😜
🇷🇺Russia = big, important and prestigious
🇨🇳China = big and important but not so prestigious
🇬🇧UK = not big and not important but prestigious
🇰🇬Kyrgyzstan = not big and not prestigious but important as a neighbour
Now vote for your favourite!
---Vocab---
📍proper = real, right 📍dilemma = a difficult problem 📍deserve sth = earn sth 📍determined = decided 📍symbolism = use of symbols 📍prestigious = being admired by people 📍get hold of sth = find and get sth

In your opinion, which hotel has got it right?
Your vote probably says more about you than about the hotels.
🇨🇳🇷🇺🇺🇿🇹🇷🇰🇷
You voted for Bog’ishamol? You have identified Uzbekistan’s key partners in economic development and geopolitics. You are perfectly aware that Uzbekistan’s future is in Asia.
🇺🇿🇷🇺🇰🇷🇬🇧🇺🇸
You voted for Vella Elegant? Prestige is more important to you than economic reality. You see the world from an English learner’s perspective.
🇺🇿🇺🇿🇨🇳🇷🇺🇹🇷
You voted for Plaza 2? You truly love your country and for you there can never be enough Uzbekistan flags. But you also seem to like authoritarian countries.
🇺🇿🇺🇦🇪🇸🏳️🇯🇵
You voted for Orom? You just love different looking flags and random collections of them. Or maybe you hate all this political stuff and dream of No Man’s Land?
🇺🇸🇹🇷🇪🇺🇺🇿
You voted for Hilton? Tashkent is obviously superior in your mind and an international hotel like the Hilton must know best. At the same time you look one way, and that is West.
Keep voting, guys! 🤓

#13 It’s a strange world: Enclaves & Exclaves
❓Have you ever wondered about these strange pieces of land that belong to one country but are surrounded by another country?
❗️There are actually two words: “Enclave” and “exclave”. An enclave is a territory enclosed by another country; an exclave is a territory separated from the main part of the country. One territory can actually be both, depending from where you stand. Sokh, for example, is an exclave of Uzbekistan enclaved by Kyrgyzstan. But it gets even more, fascinatingly complicated than that! Check it out!
