qulayroq

Qu layroq is the comparative form of the Uzbek adjective qulay, meaning more comfortable or more convenient. It is used to compare two or more entities in terms of ease, comfort, or suitability.

Formation and usage: In Uzbek, the comparative degree is formed by adding the suffix -roq to the base adjective. Thus qulay + -roq yields qulayroq. The word functions as an adjective and can modify nouns or appear in predicates describing relative comfort or convenience. For example, "Bu xona qulayroq" translates to "This room is more comfortable." It can be used with questions such as "Qaysi yo‘l qulayroq?" meaning "Which way is more convenient?"

Semantic range: Qu layroq commonly describes physical comfort (weather, seating, accommodation) and practical convenience (routes, timings, processes). It may be used in comparisons across places, methods, or arrangements, often in discussions about improvements or preferences.

Notes on usage: The term is neutral and widely understood in standard Uzbek. As with other comparatives, the surrounding context clarifies what is being compared, whether it concerns comfort, practicality, or suitability. There is no separate degree marker beyond -roq in ordinary usage; more emphasis can be achieved with adverbs or qualifiers (e.g., “ancha qulayroq” meaning “much more comfortable”).
