faktlarni

Faktlarni is the Uzbek plural definite direct object form of the noun faktlar, meaning “the facts.” It is used when the speaker wants to mark a specific set of facts as the object of the action in a sentence.

Formation and use: Uzbek marks definite direct objects with the suffix -ni. For plural nouns ending in -lar, this yields -larni, as in faktlar + ni = faktlarni. The word signals that the facts are identified or known from context. Without the -ni marker, the object would be indefinite, for example faktlar would mean “facts” in a non-specific sense.

Examples:

- Men faktlarni ko’rib chiqaman. I am reviewing the facts.

- U faktlarni tekshirdi. He checked the facts.

- Faktlarni aniqlash muhimdir. Determining the facts is important.

Notes: Faktlarni is most common in formal writing, journalism, and academic Uzbek, where precise reference to a known set of facts is needed. It contrasts with faktlar, the general, indefinite form meaning simply “facts.” The housing of definiteness in this suffix system is a characteristic feature of Uzbek grammar and applies across many plural nouns, not only faktlar. When the object is not definite, the -ni marker may be omitted or replaced by context-driven constructions.
