Tushuntirib

Tushuntirib is an Uzbek adverbial participle form derived from the verb tushuntirish, which means to explain or clarify. As a non-finite form, tushuntirib is used to express manner or accompany the action of the main verb, often translating roughly as “by explaining” or simply “explaining” in English. It is a common element in both spoken and written Uzbek, especially in instructional, explanatory, and formal contexts.

In use, tushuntirib typically appears together with another verb to indicate that the explaining action accompanies or enables the main action. This construction helps connect clauses and specify how something is being made clear. It can also introduce content that is being explained or clarified, contributing to a clarifying or corrective nuance in a sentence.

Morphologically, tushuntirib is formed from tushuntirish plus the -ib suffix, creating an adverbial participle. The form shows vowel harmony and does not change for person or number; it remains a non-finite form that relies on a following finite verb for tense and subject agreement.

Examples:

- Men tushuntirib beraman. (I will explain to you.)

- U ma’lumotni tushuntirib berdi, shunda hammasi tushunarli bo‘ldi. (He explained the information, and then everything became clear.)

- Ta’limda mavzuni tushuntirib berish usullari ko‘rib chiqildi. (The methods of explaining the topic in instruction were reviewed.)
