Explanation

Qayerda? (-da) is the locative, Qayerga? (-ga) the directional, Qayerdan? (-dan) the ablative. Bog‘da – in the garden, bog‘ga – to the garden, bog‘dan – out of the garden. -da is also written after possessive suffixes: kitobimda, sumkasida, qalamida. The verb decides which case is needed.

Worked examples
Uyda o‘tirdim. (I sat at home.) Uyga keldim. (I came home.) Uydan chiqdim. (I went out of the house.)
Qalamim sumkamda. (My pencil is in my bag.) Daftari sumkasida yotibdi. (His/her notebook lies in his/her bag.)
