Explanation

To understand a figurative phrase we look at the meaning of the sentence. “Yorug‘ yuz” is not really bright, but a cheerful, happy face. “Shirin tush” is a pleasant dream. Adjectives used figuratively are common in proverbs, poems and everyday speech. When making a sentence choose a phrase that fits the meaning.

Worked examples
Onam yorug‘ yuz bilan kutib oldi. (Mother welcomed me with a cheerful face.) Yorug‘ xonada kitob o‘qidim. (I read a book in a bright room.)
Kecha shirin tush ko‘rdim. (Last night I had a sweet dream.) Shirin uzumni yeb to‘ydim. (I ate my fill of sweet grapes.)
