Объяснение
Adjectives of shape show a thing’s shape, size and measure: dumaloq (round), uzunchoq (oblong), yassi (flat), keng (wide), tor (narrow), uzun (long), kalta (short), katta, kichik, yo‘g‘on (thick), ingichka (thin), qalin (thick, of layers), yupqa (thin, of layers). Many form antonym pairs: keng – tor, yo‘g‘on – ingichka, qalin – yupqa. Use shape adjectives together with colour and taste adjectives when describing.
