tushunishga

Tushunishga is Uzbek non-finite verb form derived from the verb tushunmoq (to understand) or tushunish (understanding). It represents the act or process of understanding and is formed with the stem tushun- plus the purposive suffix -ishga. This form functions as a non-finite clause that can express intention, purpose, or the object of a verb, similar to the English infinitive "to understand" or the noun phrase "the act of understanding."

In usage, tushunishga appears in contexts that describe aims, efforts, or purposes related to understanding. It often combines with verbs of striving or intention, such as harakat qilmok (to strive), intilmoq (to aspire), or yordamlashmoq (to help). Examples include: Men tushunishga harakat qildim (I tried to understand); U mavzuni tushunishga intildi (He aimed to understand the topic). It can also modify nouns in phrases like tushunishga qaratilgan savollar (questions aimed at understanding), where it functions as an adjectival or attributive form.

Etymology and related forms: the word comes from root tushun- meaning to understand, with the noun-forming suffix -ish and the purposive -ga. Related terms include tushunish (understanding) and tushunmoq (to understand). Tushunishga, as a non-finite form, is primarily used in written and formal Uzbek, helping to indicate action toward comprehension without specifying a subject or tense.

Translation and equivalence: commonly translated as "to understand" or "for understanding," depending on the syntactic role. It is not a standalone verb; it appears within larger verbal or noun phrases to convey the idea of understanding as an action.
