Gaplashdilar

Gaplashdilar is a verb form in Uzbek that means “they spoke” or “they talked.” It is the past tense form used with a third-person plural subject, derived from the verb gaplashmoq (to talk).

Morphology and formation: gaplashdilar is built from the verb stem gaplash- plus the past tense suffix -di and the plural suffix -lar, yielding gaplashdilar. The combination indicates a completed action in the past carried out by multiple subjects. In standard Uzbek orthography the ending is written as one unit, and the suffixes follow the rules of vowel harmony and phonological attachment typical of Uzbek verb morphology.

Usage: This form is used in narrative and reportive contexts when referring to a group of people who talked in the past. The subject is often explicit in the sentence (for example, ular, meaning “they”), but it can also be understood from context, with no pronoun required. Examples include: Ular gaplashdilar. (They talked.) Kecha ular gaplashdilar. (Yesterday they talked.)

Related forms: The corresponding singular past forms include gaplashdi (he/she talked). Gaplashdilar contrasts with gaplashmoqda (they are talking/they are in the process of talking) and other non-past forms. The form gaplashdilar thus sits within the broader Uzbek verbal system, where past tense and plurality are expressed through a sequence of suffixes attached to the verb stem gaplash-.
