Explanation
To find a word’s kind we ask it a question. Kim? Nima? — noun. Qanday? Qanaqa? — adjective. Nechta? Qancha? Nechanchi? — numeral. Nima qildi? Nima qilyapti? Nima qiladi? — verb. Careful: olti (six) is a numeral, oltin (gold) is a noun (Nima?). Oq (white) is an adjective, oqladi (whitewashed) is a verb.
