boshqalardan

Boshqalardan is an Azerbaijani grammatical form used to mean “from others.” It is the ablative plural form of the adjective meaning “other,” functioning to indicate origin, source, or a point of comparison relative to a group of people or things.

Etymology and form: The word is built from the stem meaning “other” plus the plural suffix -lar and the ablative suffix -dan, producing boshqalardan, literally “from others.” As a postpositional phrase, it typically appears with a verb or as part of a comparative construction.

Usage: Boshqalardan is common in everyday Azerbaijani and in formal writing. It can express origin or source (learning, influence, borrowing), as well as a contrast with a group. It often occurs with verbs of learning, influence, perception, or comparison, and can appear in sentences where the speaker distinguishes themselves or a group from others.

Examples:

- Mən boshqalardan fərqlənirəm. (I differ from others.)

- Bu fikir boshqalardan öyrənilən deyil, özümün fikrimdir. (This idea is not learned from others; it is my own idea.)

- Müzakirədə məsələ boshqalardan fərqli yanaşma tələb edir. (In the discussion, the issue requires a different approach from others.)

Notes: Boshqalardan is a flexible phrase and is typically used with a noun or pronoun implied by context. The exact nuance depends on the surrounding sentence, but it generally signals origin, comparison, or distinction relative to other people or groups.
