Rule

As a language where objects precede the verb, Uzbek has post-positions rather than prepositions, and relative clauses that precede the verb.


For example:

  • Biz non haqida gapirdik - We talked about bread.


Uzbek sentences rarely end with suffixes like -dan, -ga, -da.

Those suffixes indicate location and require adding joylashgan or suffix –dir after the case suffix.


For example:

  • Kechirasiz, xola. Militsiyaxona qayerda joylashgan? – Parkning yonida joylashgan. O’zbekistonning poytaxti qayer? – O’zbekistonning poytaxti Toshkent(dir).


Example of postpositions

  • Oldida – in front of
  • Yonida – next
  • o’rtasida – between
  • orqasida – behind
  • qarshisida – across
  • ustida – on top of
  • ichida – inside
  • tagida – under
  • Bilan – With
  • Keyin – After
  • Haqida – About
  • Uchun – For
