Explanation
Comparing means finding similarities and differences between two things. A table or two circles (a Venn diagram) helps. A noun-forming suffix (-chi, -zor) makes a new noun; a case suffix (-ning, -ni, -ga, -da, -dan) joins the noun to another word. Both are added to nouns. Write your own thoughts in 3–4 sentences.
Worked examples
In common: both are added to nouns. Difference: -zor makes a new word (gulzor); -ga links (gulga).
Qalam and chizg‘ich: both are school tools. A pencil writes; a ruler measures.
Class activity
Project: “Two circles”. Pairs choose two things (pencil–ruler, apple–pear), draw two circles, write similarities and differences, then make 3 sentences.
Practice
1
Find what is similar in two things: olma and nok (apple and pear).
Both are fruit; both grow on trees.
2
Explain the difference between the suffixes in gulzor and gulga.
-zor makes a noun; -ga is the directional case and links the word.
3
Make a comparison sentence: yoz (summer) and qish (winter).
For example: Yoz qishdan issiq. (Summer is hotter than winter.)
