sizlarning

Sizlarning is a grammatical form in Uzbek that marks possession by the second-person plural or formal address. It is the genitive form derived from the pronoun siz (you) plus the plural suffix -lar and the genitive/possessive suffix -ning, yielding sizlarning. The form functions as a possessive determiner and is typically placed before a noun to indicate that the noun belongs to or is associated with the addressed group.

In usage, sizlarning can appear in noun phrases to express ownership or association by the addressee group, translating roughly to “of you” or “your” in English, depending on the surrounding grammar and sentence structure. Uzbek possessive marking also involves suffixes attached to the possessed noun, and sizlarning often interacts with these forms in more complex noun phrases, especially in formal or emphatic styles.

The form is common in formal writing, official documents, speeches, and educational materials where explicit indication of the possessor is desired. It is part of the broader system of Uzbek possessive constructions, which includes forms that mark possession by individuals or groups and that vary with formality and number.

Notes on usage vary with context and tone. Sizlarning is typically contrasted with sizning, which marks possession by a single addressee or a less formal address, and with other person-based possessive forms used for different subjects.
