joylariga

Joylariga is an Uzbek grammatical form meaning “to their places.” It is formed from the noun joy (place) with the plural suffix -lar to yield joylar (places), the third-person plural possessive suffix -lari indicating “their,” and the dative suffix -ga to mark direction. The combined form is written as joylariga, used to express movement toward the places belonging to others.

The form belongs to the standard Turkic noun morphology where plurality and possession precede case marking. It is typically used with verbs of motion or other verbs that govern direction, to indicate arriving at or going to multiple places owned by someone else. In sentences, it answers questions such as “to where?” with a possessive sense.

Examples in Uzbek include: Xodimlar o‘z joylariga yo‘l oldilar. (The employees set off to their posts.) Ular joylariga yetib keldilar. (They arrived at their destinations.) The construction can appear with different coordinations and pronouns, such as o‘z joylariga (to their own places) or other possessive forms that modify the meaning of “their,” “your,” or “our” places as appropriate to context.
