yollarni

Yollarni is the Uzbek form of the noun for roads used as a direct object in the accusative case. It consists of three parts: yo'l meaning road, -lar the plural suffix, and -ni the definite direct-object suffix. In proper Uzbek orthography the base is yo'l with an apostrophe to represent the glottal stop, and the full form of the plural accusative is yo'llarni. When written without the apostrophe, it may appear as yollarni in less formal contexts or transliterations, but the meaning is the same: “the roads” as a specific object of the verb.

In usage, yollarni functions to indicate that the roads are the object of an action. For example, to say “The roads need to be cleaned,” one would say yo'llarni tozalash kerak. To say “I saw the roads,” one can say men yo'llarni ko'rdim. The form is common in sentences about transportation, infrastructure, and travel, and it harmonizes with other Uzbek case endings used with plural nouns.

Etymologically, yo'l derives from a root meaning path or way, with pluralization and the accusative marker appended to yield yol'larn i. Similar Turkic languages have related words and slightly different suffix orders, so forms equivalent to yollarni may appear with different morphology in Turkish or Kazakh, for example, but the Uzbek yo'llarni specifically marks a definite plural direct object.
