Explanation
Adding -la, -lan, -lash, -sira, -illa (-ulla) to a base makes a new verb: toza – tozala (clean – to clean), yaxshi – yaxshilan (good – to get better), ko‘mak – ko‘maklash (help – to help each other), uyqu – uyqusira (sleep – to feel sleepy), taq – taqilla (tap – to tap), guv – guvulla (hum – to hum). These suffixes are written together with the base, without a hyphen. The apostrophe in the base stays: ta’rif + la = ta’rifla. If the base ends in l and the suffix begins with l, a double l is written: gul + la = gulla (to bloom).
Worked examples
Biz xonani tozaladik. Ustoz bizga mavzuni ta’rifladi. (We cleaned the room. The teacher described the topic to us.)
Shamol guvulladi, eshik taqilladi. (The wind hummed, the door tapped.)
Class activity
“Spelling master”: children write the base and suffix, then join them correctly: ta’rif + lash → ta’riflash.
