yonalishlarini

Yonalishlarini is a word form in Uzbek built from yo'nalish, meaning direction, field of study, or line of work. The base yo'nalish can refer to a particular area of interest, specialization, or trend. Yonalishlarini is the plural possessive form used to denote “their directions/fields,” with an additional direct-object marker -ni to indicate the thing being acted upon. In short, yonalishlarini translates roughly to “their directions/fields” as a direct object in a sentence.

Grammatical notes help place yonalishlarini in context. The root yo'nalish carries the core meaning; adding -lar makes it plural (yo'nalishlar = directions/fields). The possessive suffix -i (here in the form -lari) marks ownership “their,” and the ending -ni marks the definite direct object. This combination is common in Uzbek when describing whom the directions belong to and what aspect of those directions is being discussed or acted upon.

Common uses occur in education, career guidance, and research. For example, o'quvchilar yo'nalishlarini aniqlash muhim means “determining the students’ directions is important,” highlighting the need to identify each student’s field or specialization. Another use might be belgilash or tanlash, as in phrases like “to define their directions” or “to choose their directions,” depending on the verb and sentence structure. The term emphasizes individual or group-oriented fields rather than a generic concept.
