Объяснение
An adjective is sometimes used in its literal meaning and sometimes in a figurative one. For example, achchiq qalampir (hot pepper) is literal (taste). Achchiq so‘z (a harsh word) is figurative (a word that hurts). Yumshoq yostiq (a soft pillow) is literal; yumshoq ovoz (a gentle voice) is figurative. Og‘ir tosh (a heavy stone) is literal; og‘ir kun (a hard day) is figurative.
