Sorovlarini

Sorovlarini is a term found in Uzbek grammar describing a complex inflected form of the noun sorov (question). In typical usage, sorovlarini represents a definite direct object built from the plural noun sorovlar (questions) with additional possessive and definiteness markings. The result is commonly translated as “their questions” when used in a sentence as the object of an action. The form illustrates how Uzbek combines number, possession, and definiteness into a single word.

Morphology and meaning

In Uzbek, nouns can take multiple suffixes to convey pluralization, possession, and the direct object. Sorovlar is the plural form (questions). By adding possessive and definiteness markers, the word becomes sorovlarini, a form that signals both ownership (often plural or third-person ownership) and that the noun is a definite direct object in the clause. The same mechanism can produce other related forms for different possessors or contexts, such as o’zlarining sorovlari (their questions) or their definite-object variants in varied sentences.

Usage and examples

Sorovlarini tends to appear in sentences where the speaker refers to questions belonging to a group and treats them as a definite object. For example: Men ularning sorovlarini ko’rib chiqdim. This translates roughly to “I reviewed their questions.” The form can also occur with different subjects and verbs, depending on who the questions belong to and what action is taken.

Relation to Uzbek grammar
