== Plural Formation ==
__TOC__


Southern Uzbek has two main ways to form plurals: suffixation and reduplication.


=== Suffixation ===

== What are Plurals? ==


The most common way to form plurals in Southern Uzbek is by adding a suffix to the end of the word. The most common suffixes are -lar/-ler and -lar/-ler/-lar/-ler. For example, the singular form of the word "book" is "kitob", and the plural form is "kitoblar".  
Plurals are used when referring to more than one item, person, or animal. For example, instead of saying "I have one cat," you would say "I have two cats" if you have more than one. Understanding plurals is crucial in language learning as it aids in clearer expression.


=== Reduplication ===
In Southern Uzbek, plural formation rules vary based on the noun type. This lesson explores these rules.


Another way to form plurals in Southern Uzbek is by reduplicating the word. This means repeating the word twice, with a slight change in pronunciation. For example, the singular form of the word "house" is "kona", and the plural form is "konakon".
== Plural Forms ==


== Plural Agreement ==
=== Nouns Ending in a Vowel ===
In Southern Uzbek, words ending in a vowel generally form plurals by adding "-lar". This converts a singular noun into its plural form. Examples include:


In Southern Uzbek, plurals must agree with the noun they are referring to. This means that the plural form of the word must match the gender and number of the noun it is referring to. For example, if the noun is masculine singular, the plural form must also be masculine singular.

|-
| kitob || kitoblar || books
|-
| pul || pullar || money
|-
| qiz || qizlar || girls
|-
| ota || otalar || fathers
|}


For example, the singular form of the word "man" is "erkek", and the plural form is "erkekler".  
=== Nouns Ending in a Consonant ===
For consonant-ending nouns, the rule is to add "-lar" regardless of gender. Examples:


== Plural Pronunciation ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Southern Uzbek !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| polis || polislar || police officers
|-
| qizil || qizillar || red objects 
|}


When forming plurals in Southern Uzbek, it is important to pay attention to the pronunciation of the words. The pronunciation of the plural forms can be quite different from the singular forms. For example, the singular form of the word "book" is "kitob", and the plural form is "kitoblar". The "l" sound in the plural form is pronounced differently than the "b" sound in the singular form.  
Words ending in "-ning" or "-ninggacha" also follow this rule, irrespective of feminine association. Examples:

{| class="wikitable"
! Southern Uzbek !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| toshning || toshninglar || stones
|-
| suvninggacha || suvninggachalar || until the water
|}


In this lesson, we have looked at the different ways to form plurals in Southern Uzbek. We have seen that there are two main ways to form plurals: suffixation and reduplication. We have also seen that plurals must agree with the noun they are referring to, and that the pronunciation of the plural forms can be quite different from the singular forms.  
=== Compound Nouns ===
In Southern Uzbek, some compound nouns require a different plural form than other types of nouns. For example, compound nouns ending in "-marta" take the suffix "-martalar" instead of "-lar". Examples:
