Ishlarini

Ishlarini is a form found in Uzbek that usually conveys “their works” or “their affairs” in a sentence. It is typically part of a larger phrase rather than a stand‑alone noun, and it often appears with possessive and definite-object markers such as ularning and -ni to indicate whose works are being referred to.

Linguistic background and structure: The base noun is ish (work or task). Plural is ishlar (works). The form -ini marks a definite direct object, and possessive or possessive-like elements on the noun phrase indicate ownership or relation. In practice, the full possessive construction for “their” appears as ularning ishlarini (their works as the definite object), though ishlarini often occurs within a larger sentence as a constituent meaning “their works.”

Usage: Ishlarini is used when talking about the works or tasks belonging to a group or multiple people. It is common in reports, critiques, or descriptions of projects, performances, or productions where the speaker references what a group has produced or is responsible for. The surrounding words determine the exact sense (ownership, focus, and object status).

Examples:

- Ularning ishlarini ko'rib chiqish uchun tashkilotchilar yig'ilish o'tkazdilar. (The organizers held a meeting to review their works.)

- Ishlarini bajarish ular uchun muhimdir. (Carrying out their tasks is important for them.)
