Small talk — tanish bo‘lmagan yoki kam tanish odam bilan 2–5 daqiqalik yengil suhbat. Uning xavfsiz mavzulari uchta: ob-havo (Lovely day, isn’t it?), dam olish (Did you do anything nice at the weekend?) va ish yoki o‘qish (How’s work going?). Maosh, yosh, turmush qurish, vazn, din va siyosat haqida birinchi suhbatda so‘ralmaydi. Suhbatni davom ettirish qoidasi: javob + bitta tafsilot + qaytma savol.
Hozir ovoz chiqarib ayting: Not much, just a quiet weekend at home. How about you? Did you do anything fun? Bu uch bo‘lakli javob istalgan “weekend” savoliga mos keladi.
Uchta xavfsiz mavzu: savol, javob, davomi
| Mavzu | Savol | Javob namunasi | Davom ettiruvchi savol |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ob-havo | Lovely day, isn’t it? | It is! Finally some sunshine. | Have you got any plans to enjoy it? |
| Ob-havo | Freezing today, isn’t it? | I know! I wasn’t ready for this. | Is it always this cold in October? |
| Dam olish | Did you have a good weekend? | Yes, thanks. I went hiking with friends. | What did you get up to? |
| Dam olish | Any plans for the holidays? | I’m going home to see my family. | Are you going away? |
| Ish | How’s work going? | Busy, but good. We’ve got a big project. | What are you working on at the moment? |
| O‘qish | How are your classes going? | Pretty well. Statistics is tough, though. | What are you studying? |
Ob-havo haqidagi to‘liq so‘z boyligi ob-havo inglizcha sahifasida. Britaniyada You alright? yoki Alright? — oddiy salom, “yaxshimisiz, biror narsa bo‘ldimi?” degani emas. Javob ham qisqa: Yeah, good, thanks. You? Bunday savollarga javob variantlari how are you ga javob sahifasida.
Birinchi suhbatda so‘ralmaydigan savollar
O‘zbekistonda yangi tanishdan Uylanganmisiz? Bolangiz nechta? Qancha maosh olasiz? deb so‘rash ko‘pincha g‘amxo‘rlik belgisi. Ingliz tilida gaplashadigan ko‘p mamlakatlarda esa bu savollar birinchi suhbatda shaxsiy chegaraga kirish deb qabul qilinishi mumkin. Bu qat’iy qoida emas: odamga, yoshga va mamlakatga qarab farq qiladi. Lekin birinchi suhbatda ehtiyot bo‘lgan ma’qul.
| Noqulay savol | Nega | O‘rniga |
|---|---|---|
| How much do you earn? | Pul — shaxsiy mavzu | Do you enjoy your job? |
| How old are you? | Ayniqsa kattalarga noqulay | Umuman so‘ramang yoki Have you lived here long? |
| Why aren’t you married? | Shaxsiy hayot | Do you have family here? |
| When are you having children? | Juda shaxsiy | So‘ramang |
| Have you put on weight? | Tashqi ko‘rinish haqida baho | You look well! (faqat yaxshi gap) |
| What’s your religion? | Din va e’tiqod | Suhbatdosh o‘zi aytsa, hurmat bilan tinglang |
| Who did you vote for? | Siyosat | Have you seen the news about…? (neytral mavzu) |
| How much did your flat cost? | Pul va mulk | How do you like the area? |
Agar sizdan shunday savol so‘rashsa, qo‘pol bo‘lmasdan mavzuni o‘zgartirish mumkin: Oh, that’s a long story! Anyway, how was your trip?

Kate bolalar haqida o‘zi gapirdi, shuning uchun Sanjarning How old are they? savoli joyida. Suhbat tugashi: Anyway, I’d better… — bu qo‘pollik emas, oddiy yakun.
