Oynaydilar

Oynaydilar is a Uzbek verb form representing the third-person plural present tense of the verb o‘ynamoq, meaning “to play.” It is used to indicate that multiple subjects are performing the action of playing in the present or as a habitual action. In English, it is commonly rendered as “they play” or “they are playing,” depending on context.

Morphology and spelling: the form is built from the stem oyna- with a present-tense linking vowel and the plural subject suffix, resulting in the standard spelling oynaydilar in Uzbek orthography. This pattern aligns with other third-person plural present-tense verbs in Uzbek, where the suffix marks both person and number.

Usage and examples: Uzbek verbs carry person and number within the verb ending, so oynaydilar appears with a plural subject noun. Example: Bolalar oynaydilar. translates to “The children are playing” or “The children play.” The exact aspect—whether ongoing or habitual—is usually inferred from context, time expressions, or auxiliary words, since Uzbek relies on context rather than a separate continuous marker in this form.

Notes: as with other Uzbek verb forms, the pronunciation and spelling can vary slightly with dialect or transliteration conventions, but the core meaning remains the same: they play. The form is part of everyday Uzbek usage in speech and writing and appears across narrative, reportage, and instruction.
