oquvchilarni

O’quvchilarni is a grammatical form in Uzbek that marks “the students” as the definite direct object of a verb. It represents the plural of o’quvchilar (students) combined with the accusative suffix -ni, which signals that the noun is a specific, known group being acted upon in the sentence. The general noun form is o’quvchilar (students); adding -ni makes the object definite in the context of the verb.

Morphology and usage are straightforward in Uzbek. The base word o’quvchi means student; plural o’quvchilar is used for multiple students. When these students are the direct object of the action, the definite marker -ni attaches: o’quvchilarni. For an indefinite or non-specific direct object, the -ni suffix is not used (for example, o’quvchilar without -ni).

In practice, o’quvchilarni appears in sentences where the subject performs an action upon the students. Examples include:

- O’qituvchi o’quvchilarni baholadi. (The teacher assessed the students.)

- Biz o’quvchilarni darsga chaqirdik. (We called the students to the class.)

- Men o’quvchilarni tinglayapman. (I am listening to the students.)

This form reflects Uzbek’s agglutinative and postpositional syntax, where case and definiteness are shown through affixes rather than prepositions. The use of o’quvchilarni implies that both speaker and listener recognize and refer to a specific group of students.
