Darslikdagi

Darslikdagi is an Uzbek term used to indicate content that is located in or contained within a textbook. It functions as an attributive modifier, forming phrases that point to specific parts of a darslik (textbook). The form is productive in educational discourse and is commonly found in teacher notes, student instructions, and language-learning materials.

The word is built from darslik (textbook) plus the locative-like suffix -dagi, which marks something as being “in” or “within” the base noun. As a result, darslikdagi describes or specifies elements associated with a particular textbook, rather than the textbook as a whole. It can pair with various head nouns to form phrases like darslikdagi mashqlar (the exercises in the textbook), darslikdagi mavzular (the topics in the textbook), or darslikdagi rasmlar (the pictures in the textbook). In sentences, it often precedes the noun it modifies, for example: Darslikdagi mashqlarni yeching. (Solve the exercises in the textbook.)

Usage notes: darslikdagi is used in neutral, informative contexts to refer to components of a textbook. It contrasts with other forms such as darslikda (in the textbook) used in locative adverbial contexts, or darslikdan (from the textbook) used to indicate source. The term helps clarify which part of educational material is being discussed, and it is widely understood among Uzbek readers and learners.
