- Colleagues are usually addressed by their first names but supervisors are often addressed by titles such as Muallim (teacher), khujain (boss), Ustod (master), or even rais (chief, boss).
- In many cases people still use the Soviet approach whereby people are addressed by using their first and middle names such as Rahim Karimovich. The use of Janob (Mr) or Khomun (Ms.) is quite rare and is used mostly in official meetings or in very formal occasions.
- In a traditional setting, people may use titles such as Pir, Domulloh, Eshon and Kahlifa which are all religious titles or Okhon (teacher).
- In an informal environment people address each other by using words such as aka (elder brother) if the person you are talking to is older than you or you can use dodar (younger brother). Similarly to women is apa (elder sister), khohar (younger sister) and khola (for a woman that you may feel is your mother's age) and amak (men that you may feel your mother's age).
