Word-building and form-building suffixes

Suffixes that are added to a stem and create a new meaning are called word-building suffixes. They can also change the word class. For example, -chi makes nouns (ish — ishchi, work — worker), -li makes adjectives (foyda — foydali, benefit — useful), -la makes verbs (taqsim — taqsimla, share — distribute), -iston makes place names (o‘zbek — O‘zbekiston), -zor shows an abundance in a place (bug‘doy — bug‘doyzor, wheat — wheat field). Some word-building elements go before the stem: ser-, be-, no-, ba- (sermahsul, bexabar, notanish, bamaslahat). The new word’s meaning depends on the stem’s meaning but differs from it.
