Abstract

ABSTRACT

The numerical form, which is considered an important grammatical category of a noun, is a form indicating that words are singular or plural in number, and the meaning of the singular and plural, which is in conflict with nouns, and the system of forms expressing this meaning constitute a grammatical numerical category.

       In linguistics, the numerical paradigm, which acquires importance among the grammatical categories of the noun, has its own form and scope of application, which does not always lose its relevance for research.

    In uzbek, there are two forms of the number category: singular and plural. The singular noun means singular and indefinite plural. There is no special shape. It is also possible to observe the expression of plurality in words borrowed from аrabic in the present uzbek literary language. In our article, the expression of the number category in different cases is considered.
