Malumotlariga

Malumotlariga is a grammatical form used in Uzbek to express “to their information” or, in fixed phrases, “according to their information.” It is formed from the noun meaning information, plus the plural suffix, the third-person possessive suffix, and the dative/locative suffix. The sequence reflects standard noun-phrase building: information (plural) + their + to/toward, yielding malumotlariga.

Morphologically, malumotlariga combines:

- a base meaning information;

- a plural marker, indicating information belonging to a group (malumotlar);

- a possessive suffix marking the third-person plural (lari);

- a dative/locative suffix (-ga) to indicate direction or relation.

In use, malumotlariga can denote the recipient or target of an action involving information, such as accessing, consulting, or referring to the information of a specified group. It also appears in common journalistic and formal writing in fixed expressions like ma’lumotlariga ko‘ra, meaning “according to their information” or “as their information indicates.” This phrase is frequently employed when reporting sources, data, or statements attributed to particular groups or organizations.

Notes on usage:

- The form is grammatical and widely understood in standard Uzbek.

- Its meaning depends on context: it may indicate the destination of an action related to information, or serve as part of a reporting expression (“according to”).

- It is primarily encountered in formal writing, data reports, and official communications, where attribution to specific information owners is required.
