Predicative affix -dir

The affix –dir is used when predicate (in the 3rd person) is a noun, adjective or other part of speech, but not a verb with the affix –di at the end.

Its presence is not necessary, that is, you can say “U shifokordir” (“He is a doctor”), or you can simply say “U shifokor” (that’s what they say more often).

The presence of -dir can express the speaker's doubt or assumption:
Men juda uzoqqa ketgandirman – Maybe I’ve gone too far

Examples with different parts of speech:

Bu toshlar og'irdir! – These stones are heavy!

Men uchun eng kerakli narsalardan biri bu kompyuterdir – One of the most necessary things for me is a computer

Ayollarning kiyim assortimentlaridan asosiysi bu yengil ko’ylakdir – The basis of the range of women’s clothing are light shirts

U juda uzoqdadir, balki boshqa shahardadir yoki o'zga davlatda - He is very far away, maybe in another city or in another country.
