Shaxsga

Shaxsga is the dative form of the Uzbek noun shaxs, meaning a person or individual. It is created by attaching the suffix -ga to the stem shaxs, producing a form that expresses direction toward or the indirect object of an action — roughly “to a person,” “toward a person,” or “for a person.” The -ga suffix marks the recipient or target of an action and is used with verbs that require an indirect object, such as ber (to give), yubor (to send), ayt (to tell), ko‘rsat (to show), and murojaat qil (to address).

Usage examples illustrate its function. For instance: U shaxsga kitob berdi, meaning “He gave the book to a person.” Another example: Men shaxsga yordam so‘radim, meaning “I asked a person for help” (or “for help from a person”). The form follows Uzbek vowel harmony, and shaxsga specifically occurs after a consonant stem like shaxs.

Etymology and notes: The word shaxs is of Persian/Arabic origin (shakhs) and has been adapted into Uzbek with the modern form shaxs. The compound shaxsga is a common, neutral construction in contemporary Uzbek, appearing in everyday speech as well as in grammar references and language-learning materials.
