LingoflyWhat it is done with: bilan, and of what — -dan
"With what" travels through the word bilan, and it stands after the thing: qalam bilan — with a pen. For example: “Qalam bilan yozmoq, pichoq bilan kesmoq.” — To write with a pen, to cut with a knife. A rule from the Uzbek course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
"With what" travels through the word bilan, and it stands after the thing: qalam bilan — with a pen.
Tool, hand, transport — everywhere bilan: qoʻl bilan — by hand, poyezd bilan — by train. The word itself does not change.
"Of what" is a different tail, -dan: yogʻochdan — of wood, ipakdan — of silk. The question "made of what" answers -dan.
"About what" is haqida: ish haqida — about work. Three frames — three slots in the sentence, all after the main word.

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
