Explanation

Adjectives of colour show the colour of a thing: qizil, sariq, yashil, moviy, oq, qora, pushti, jigarrang, kulrang. Adjectives of taste show the taste: shirin, nordon, sho‘r, achchiq, bemaza. They answer Qanday? Qanday limon? – sariq va nordon (yellow and sour). Using both kinds makes a description exact.
