sizga

Sizga is a grammatical form found in several Turkic languages that marks the indirect object or recipient of an action. It functions roughly as "to you" or "for you" and is used to indicate who benefits from or receives the action of the verb.

The form is built from the second-person pronoun siz (you) plus a dative/allative suffix. In many languages the suffix is -ga, with variants such as -gä in contexts governed by vowel harmony or different orthographies. Thus sizga expresses the sense of giving, offering, or directing something toward the addressee. For example, in Uzbek, sizga yordam beraman means "I will help you," and bu sovgʻa sizga taqdim etildi can be rendered as "This gift was presented to you" or, more simply, "This gift is for you."

Across Turkic languages, sizga appears with related meanings and grammatical functions. In Kazakh and Kyrgyz, the corresponding forms (often written as sizge in Latin transliteration) share the same core idea of marking the recipient or beneficiary, though exact spelling and phonology vary by language and script.

In usage, sizga commonly appears with verbs of transfer, support, direction, and communication, and it is typically placed near the verb in the sentence, reflecting typical Turkic word order. It is a standard way to address or refer to the person receiving the action without changing the verb’s form.
