Matnlardagi

Matnlardagi is an Uzbek grammatical form used to express a relation to texts. It combines the plural noun matnlar (texts) with the locative suffix -dagi, yielding a meaning along the lines of “in the texts” or “within the texts.” The form is commonly employed to modify another noun or to introduce phrases that point to content contained in textual material.

Morphology and function: matn (text) + -lar (plural) → matnlar (texts). The suffix -dagi attaches to the plural form to indicate location or content within the texts. In use, matnlardagi often functions as a determiner or qualifier in noun phrases, for example matnlardagi ma'lumotlar (the information in the texts) or matnlardagi xulosalar (the conclusions in the texts). It can also appear in sentences as a modifier: U matnlardagi bo'limlarni o'rgandi (He studied the sections in the texts).

Usage notes: Matnlardagi is typically paired with words denoting content found in texts, such as ma'lumotlar, xulosalar, bo'limlar, dalillar, or tavsiflar. The construction emphasizes material that is contained, drawn from, or discussed within the texts rather than from outside sources.

Examples:

- Matnlardagi ma'lumotlar aniq emas. (The information in the texts is not clear.)

- U matnlardagi xulosalarni taqdim etdi. (He presented the conclusions in the texts.)

- Tadqiqot matnlardagi bo'limlarni tahlil qiladi. (The study analyzes the sections within the texts.)
