Rule[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]

- 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
