Объяснение
In its literal meaning an adjective shows the real feature of a thing: issiq choy (the tea’s temperature), og‘ir yuk (the load’s weight). In the figurative meaning the feature of another thing is given by comparison: issiq munosabat (warm attitude, i.e. friendly), og‘ir kun (a hard day). Figurative phrases make speech expressive.
