Anglashni

Anglashni is a noun-like form in Uzbek built from the verb anglash, which means “to understand.” The suffix -ni marks a definite direct object, turning the verb into a nominalized form that can function as the object of another verb or as the topic of a clause. In practice, anglashni conveys the act or process of understanding, or the goal of understanding.

Morphology and functions

Anglashni derives from anglash by adding -ni to create a definite infinitive-like form. This form is commonly used as the object of verbs such as xohlamoq (to want), istamak (to wish), or qabul qilmoq (to accept in a sense of grasping). It can also appear in clauses that discuss understanding as a general activity, for example as the subject or object in sentences with impersonal or cognitive meanings.

Usage notes

- Anglashni expresses the act of understanding rather than simply the knowledge itself; for knowledge, other words such as bilim would be used.

- The form is versatile: it can appear with different tenses or aspectual constructions when combined with auxiliary verbs.

- It is common in both written and spoken Uzbek and can be found in educational, philosophical, and explanatory contexts.

Examples

- Men anglashni xohlayman. (I want to understand.)

- Bu ma’lumot anglashni tezlashtiradi. (This information speeds up understanding.)

- Uning gaplarini anglashni istayman. (I want to understand his words.)
