LingoflyEskirgan, katlangan, buralgan: a participle turned adjective
Words about the state of a thing are verb forms, made with the tail -gan. For example: “Qogʻoz katlangan, sumka esa eskirgan.” — The paper is crumpled, and the bag is worn out. A rule from the Uzbek course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
Words about the state of a thing are verb forms, made with the tail -gan.
Katlangan — crumpled: one that got crumpled. Buralgan — twisted. Buzilgan — broken: something broke it. One form, and the meaning is read off the word.
Some of these words did the job themselves: eskirgan — worn out, the thing wore out on its own. Beside it eski — simply old, with no history.
In a sentence such a word stands like any quality: katlangan qogʻoz, eskirgan sumka. The tail does not change with the number: eskirgan sumkalar.

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.
