Объяснение
Some words together make a new meaning. We call a skilful person qo‘li gul (“flower-handed”), a generous person qo‘li ochiq (“open-handed”), and someone who cooks tasty food qo‘li shirin (“sweet-handed”). The textbook has the poem “What are your hands like?”. Opposites: saxiy — qizg‘anchiq (generous — greedy), toza — kir (clean — dirty), botir — qo‘rqoq (brave — cowardly).
