Hi everyone! Today I want to tell you about my favourite place in Tashkent: Chorsu Bazaar. I’m from Canada, and I’m living in Uzbekistan for six months to teach English. On my first weekend here, my colleague Malika took me to Chorsu. I loved it so much that now I go there every Saturday morning.
Hammaga salom! Bugun sizga Toshkentdagi eng sevimli joyim — Chorsu bozori haqida aytib bermoqchiman. Men Kanadadanman va ingliz tilidan dars berish uchun O‘zbekistonda olti oy yashayapman. Bu yerdagi birinchi dam olish kunimda hamkasbim Malika meni Chorsuga olib bordi. U menga shunchalik yoqdiki, endi har shanba ertalab u yerga boraman.
The bazaar is famous for its huge blue dome. Under the dome, there are hundreds of sellers. Some sell meat, some sell cheese and milk, and others sell spices in every colour you can imagine: red, yellow, orange and brown. The smell is wonderful. I always buy cumin there, because it is much cheaper than in the supermarket.
Bozor o‘zining ulkan ko‘k gumbazi bilan mashhur. Gumbaz ostida yuzlab sotuvchilar bor. Ba’zilari go‘sht, ba’zilari pishloq va sut, boshqalari esa siz tasavvur qila oladigan har qanday rangdagi ziravorlarni sotadi: qizil, sariq, to‘q sariq va jigarrang. Hidi ajoyib. Men u yerdan doim zira sotib olaman, chunki u supermarketdagidan ancha arzon.
Outside the dome, there is the fruit and vegetable area. In autumn, the melons are amazing. They are big, sweet and very cheap. The sellers are very friendly. They always want you to taste their fruit before you buy it. Once, a man gave me a whole bag of grapes and didn’t want any money! He just wanted to practise his English with me.
Gumbaz tashqarisida meva va sabzavotlar qismi bor. Kuzda qovunlar ajoyib bo‘ladi. Ular katta, shirin va juda arzon. Sotuvchilar juda samimiy. Ular doim mevasini sotib olishdan oldin tatib ko‘rishingizni xohlashadi. Bir marta bir kishi menga bir xalta uzum berdi va hech qanday pul olishni xohlamadi! U shunchaki men bilan ingliz tilini mashq qilmoqchi edi.
There is one important thing you need to know: at Chorsu, you can bargain. The first price is usually not the real price. At first, I felt shy and paid whatever people asked. But Malika taught me some useful Uzbek phrases, and now I can get a good price. Sellers laugh when they hear a foreigner speaking Uzbek, but they are always happy about it.
Bilishingiz kerak bo‘lgan bitta muhim narsa bor: Chorsuda savdolashish mumkin. Birinchi narx odatda haqiqiy narx bo‘lmaydi. Avvaliga men uyalardim va odamlar qancha so‘rasa, shuncha to‘lardim. Lekin Malika menga bir nechta foydali o‘zbekcha iboralarni o‘rgatdi va endi yaxshi narxga kelisha olaman. Sotuvchilar xorijlikning o‘zbekcha gapirganini eshitib kulishadi, lekin bundan doim xursand bo‘lishadi.
My last stop is always the bread area. The round bread, called non, is still hot when you buy it. I usually buy two: one for my breakfast and one for my neighbour, an old man who lives alone. Then I take the metro home. The Chorsu metro station is right next to the bazaar, so it is very easy.
Mening oxirgi to‘xtash joyim doim non rastasi bo‘ladi. Non deb ataladigan dumaloq nonni sotib olayotganingizda u hali issiq bo‘ladi. Men odatda ikkita olaman: bittasini nonushtam uchun va bittasini yolg‘iz yashaydigan keksa qo‘shnim uchun. Keyin uyga metroda qaytaman. Chorsu metro bekati bozorning yonginasida, shuning uchun bu juda qulay.
My advice? Go early, before nine o’clock, because it gets very busy later. Wear comfortable shoes, bring cash, and don’t be afraid to talk to people. Chorsu isn’t just a place to go shopping. It is the heart of the city.
Mening maslahatim? Erta boring, soat to‘qqizdan oldin, chunki keyinroq u yer juda gavjum bo‘lib ketadi. Qulay poyabzal kiying, naqd pul oling va odamlar bilan gaplashishdan qo‘rqmang. Chorsu shunchaki xarid qilinadigan joy emas. U shaharning yuragi.
