taomlarning

Taomlarning is Uzbek for “of the dishes” or “the dishes’.” It is the genitive plural form of taom (food, dish) and is used to show possession or a close relationship between the dishes and another noun in a sentence. This form is common in descriptive or formal text, such as menus, culinary reports, and linguistic explanations.

Formation and grammar: The base noun taom becomes taomlar in the plural. To express possession or a relation to another noun, the genitive suffix -ning is added after the plural, producing taomlarning. The resulting phrase functions as a possessor or relator to the head noun that follows, for example taomlarning tarkibi (the composition of the dishes) or taomlarning ta'mi (the taste of the dishes).

Usage and examples: Taomlarning tarkibi refers to what the dishes contain, while taomlarning narxlari describes how much the dishes cost. In sentences, taomlarning may use before the head noun, as in Taomlarning tarkibi ko'rsatma berildi (The composition of the dishes was shown). Taomlarning ta'mi yaxshi degan baholar ko'p bo'ldi (There were many opinions that the dishes’ taste was good).

Etymology: Taom originates from Persian or Arabic roots for “food” or “taste.” The word has been integrated into Uzbek and combines with -lar (plural) and -ning (genitive) to form taomlarning, a standard construct for expressing possession or association with multiple dishes.
