zanjirlarining

Zanjirlarining is a form in Uzbek grammar built from the plural noun zanjirlar (chains) with the genitive possessive suffix ning attached, producing a phrase meaning “of the chains” or “the chains’.” It is used to show a possessive or associative relationship between chains and another noun in the sentence. The exact possessor is provided by the surrounding words, such as a possessive pronoun or another noun in genitive case.

The word is formed by taking zanjirlar (plural of zanjir) and adding the suffix ning, yielding zanjirlarining. This pattern follows the general Turkic mechanism of creating possessive or genitive phrases by attaching a possessive suffix to a head noun. The suffix remains visible in its -ning form, while the possessor is identified elsewhere in the clause. In Uzbek, the combination of plural marking and the genitive suffix is common for describing relationships between multiple items and their attributes or owners.

Usage examples illustrate its function. Zanjirlarining rangi qora. The color of the chains is black. Zanjirlarining uzunligi juda katta bo‘lishi mumkin. The length of the chains could be very large. These constructions show how zanjirlarining links nouns to possessions or characteristics in a concise noun phrase.

Etymology is typically traced to the base noun zanjir (chain), with zanjirlar the plural form, and ning as the standard genitive/possessive suffix. The combination zanjirlarining adheres to Uzbek syntax for expressing possession across plural nouns, allowing clear reference to what belongs to or relates to the chains.
