Oqituvchilari

Oqituvchilari is a form in Uzbek that derives from the word oqituvchi, meaning teacher. The base noun oqituvchi can be pluralized to oqituvchilar, meaning teachers. By adding the third-person plural possessive suffix -lari to the plural, oqituvchilar → oqituvchilari, the phrase expresses ownership by a third-person plural subject, commonly translated as “their teachers” or, in some contexts, “the teachers’.”

Grammatical role and usage: Oqituvchilari is used in sentences where the possessor is a third-person plural and the possessed noun is teachers. It can function as the subject or as a possessive complement within a clause. For example: Ularning oqituvchilari maktabga keldi means “Their teachers came to the school.” The form emphasizes that the teachers belong to or are associated with someone other than the speaker or listener.

Context and nuance: In Uzbek, oqituvchi refers to a person who teaches, typically a schoolteacher or educator. The plural oqituvchilar covers multiple educators, and the suffix -lari marks possession by a third-party group. This construction is common in written and spoken Uzbek when discussing groups of teachers in relation to students, schools, or communities.

Related terms: The related base word is o‘qituvchi (teacher/educator). Plurals and possessive forms are part of standard Uzbek noun morphology and are used across formal and informal registers.
