birlikda

Birlikda is a phrase in the Uzbek language that means "in unity" or "together." It is a locative construction formed from the noun birlik (unity) plus the suffix -da, and it expresses being in a state of unity, cooperation, or collective action.

Etymology and grammar: Birlik comes from bir (one) plus -lik (a suffix forming abstract nouns), yielding "unity." The locative suffix -da marks location or state, so birlikda literally means "in unity." This form is common in formal discourse, media, education, and everyday speech.

Usage and examples: It is used to describe cooperative actions or shared states. Examples: Biz birlikda ishlaymiz (We work together). Ular birlikda kurashdilar (They fought together). In slogans and proverbs, the phrase emphasizes solidarity, for instance Birlikda kuch bor (There is strength in unity).
