This study investigates the usage of the Japanese adjective iyi (“good”) and its Uzbek equivalent yaxshi in beginner level sentence patterns. While iyi functions broadly in Japanese to express permission, advice, preference, and convenience, yaxshi does not appear in expressions of permission. Additionally, the adverbial form yoku in Japanese indicates both degree and frequency, but yaxshi corresponds only to the degree meaning. The research examines sentence patterns from the Irodori textbook, verifies natural usage through consultation with native Uzbek speakers and highlights potential sources of learner misinterpretation, such as the Japanese phrase iyi desu. The findings provide practical information for Japanese learners of Uzbek and vice versa, clarifying which functional meanings can be directly expressed and which require alternative expressions. This study contributes to contrastive linguistics by providing detailed cross-linguistic insight into basic vocabulary usage, informing efficient and practical teaching strategies, and addressing an under-researched area in Japanese– Uzbek language studies
