Review of the noun, adjective, numeral and adverb

A noun names a thing and answers the questions kim? (who?), nima? (what?), qayer? (where?). By formation, nouns are simple, derived, compound, paired and repeated: qalam (pen), o‘quvchi (pupil), oshxona (kitchen), ota-ona (parents), qatorma-qator (row after row). A noun changes with case and possessive suffixes. An adjective shows the quality of a thing and answers qanday? (what kind?). Basic adjectives (katta, big; yengil, light) name a quality by themselves; relative adjectives are formed from other words with suffixes such as -li, -siz, -iy: tuzli (salty), ilmiy (scientific). The degrees of the adjective are positive (baland, high), comparative (balandroq, higher) and superlative (eng baland, the highest; juda baland, very high). When an adjective is nominalized it can act as subject or object.
