Объяснение
When we hear a word, information about it appears in our mind. That information is the word’s meaning. For example, if we say daftar (notebook), we think of a school tool made of paper with many pages. There is no word without a meaning. If we do not understand a word, we ask adults or find it in a dictionary.
Примеры
Isrof means using more of something than needed. Suvni isrof qilmaymiz. (We do not waste water.)
Tejamoq means to use little, to save. Tabiiy boyliklarni tejaymiz. (We save natural resources.)
