shaxslarning

Shaxslarning is an Uzbek grammatical form that marks the possessive or genitive relationship with the noun shaxs, meaning a person or individual. The form is produced by first creating the plural shaxslar and then adding the genitive/possessive suffix -ning, resulting in shaxslarning. The overall meaning is "of the persons" or "the persons’" and it indicates something that belongs to or is associated with a group of individuals.

In usage, shaxslarning is common in formal, official, or academic contexts such as law, policy, sociology, and ethics. It appears in phrases like shaxslarning huquqlari (the rights of individuals), shaxslarning fikrlari (the opinions of individuals), or shaxslarning xavfsizligi ta’minoti (the safety of individuals). The construction is used to discuss attributes, rights, duties, or characteristics that pertain to people as a group.

Nuances and alternatives: shaxs is a relatively formal term; in everyday speech, odamlar or odamlarning is often used to refer to people in a general sense. The choice between shaxslarning and its alternatives can reflect tone, formality, or the specific focus on identity, status, or rights. Etymologically, shaxs originates from Persian/Arabic, while -lar is a plural suffix and -ning is a genitive/possessive suffix, together forming the phrase that means “of the individuals.”
