Oquvchilarga

oquvchilarga is a dative form in Uzbek grammar. It denotes the indirect object or recipient of an action and translates as to the students or for the students. The base word is o'quvchi (student, learner); its plural is o'quvchilar (students). When the dative suffix -ga is added to the plural, the form becomes o'quvchilarga, indicating direction toward or benefit for the students. This form is used to mark who receives the action in sentences with verbs that take an indirect object.

Morphology and usage: o'quvchilarga combines the plural marker -lar with the dative suffix -ga, reflecting both plurality and the dative relation. The form is used with verbs such as ber-, ko'rsat-, ayt-, yetkaz-, taqdim et-, and similar predicates that require an indirect object. It can express a recipient, beneficiary, or destination in a sentence, and its meaning can vary slightly with context between “to the students” and “for the students.”

Examples: Ustoz o'quvchilarga topshiriqlar berdi. (The teacher gave assignments to the students.) Kitob o'quvchilarga tarqatildi. (The book was distributed to the students.) O'quvchilarga darslar haqida ma'lumot berildi. (Information about the lessons was provided to the students.)

Etymology and related forms: The term derives from o'quvchi (student) with the plural form o'quvchilar. The dative singular is o'quvchiga (to the student), and the noun phrase o'quvchilarga forms the plural dative.
