Dating Apps

1. Мен сенин профилиңди тааныштыруу колдонмосунан көрдүм

   Men senin profilingdi taanyshtyruu koldonmosunan kördüm

   I saw your profile on a dating app

   Usage

   Standard opening phrase when contacting someone on a dating app

   Grammar Note

   Kyrgyz possession is marked by suffixes. "профилиңди" = profile + your + accusative marker

2. Тиндерде дал келебизби?

   Tinderde dal kelebizbi?

   Would you like to match on Tinder?

   Usage

   Used when asking someone to connect on a specific app

   Grammar Note

   "дал келүү" means "to match / to coincide". "дал келебизби" = 1st-person plural present "келебиз" + question particle "би": "shall we match?"

3. Бул колдонмодо эмнени издеп жатасың?

   Bul koldonmodo emneni izdep jatasyng?

   What are you looking for on this app?

   Usage

   Question to clarify the other person's intentions on the app

   Grammar Note

   Kyrgyz progressive uses "-п жат-" construction. "издеп жатасың" = you are searching

4. Мен бул колдонмону жаңы гана орноттум — бул кантип иштейт?

   Men bul koldonmonu jangy gana ornottum — bul kantip ishteyt?

   I'm new to this app — how does it work here?

   Usage

   Used to indicate you are new to the app and ask how it works

   Grammar Note

   "жаңы гана" is an adverbial phrase meaning "just/only recently", combined with past tense "орноттум" (I installed)

5. Жолугушуудан мурун видео чат жасай алабызбы?

   Jolugushuudan murun video chat jasay alabyzby?

   Can we video chat before meeting in person?

   Usage

   Used to propose a video call before an in-person meeting for safety

   Grammar Note

   "ала" is the potential auxiliary. "жасай алабыз" = we can do, adding "бы" forms a question

6. Биринчи жолугушуу үчүн кайда барабыз?

   Birinchi jolugushuu üchün kayda barabyz?

   Where would you like to meet for our first date?

   Usage

   Used to ask where the other person would like to go for a first date

   Grammar Note

   "кайда" is the locative/directional question word. "барабыз" (we go) carries a suggestion nuance

7. Сен менен сүйлөшкөнүбүз жагымдуу болду — жолугушалыбы?

   Sen menen süylöshkönübüz jagymduu boldu — jolugushalyby?

   Senin profiling abdan jakshy! Süröttörüng keremet

   Men bir jumaga gana keldim — jolugushkung kelebi?

   I'm visiting for a week — would you like to meet?

   Usage

10. Менимче биз абдан жакшы дал келебиз!

    Menimche biz abdan jakshy dal kelebiz!
