Lingoflyuzoqda, uzoqga, uzoqdan: where, where to and from where
There is no preposition of place here: the question is held by the tail at the end of the word. For example: “Togʻlar uzoqda, shahar yaqin.” — The mountains are far away, the city is close. A rule from the Uzbek course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
There is no preposition of place here: the question is held by the tail at the end of the word.
Where — -da: uzoqda — far away, yuqorida — up above. Where to — -ga: uzoqga — far onward, yuqoriga — upward. From where — -dan: uzoqdan — from afar, yuqoridan — from above.
Three tails — three answers to three questions, and mixing them up is costly. "togʻlar uzoqda" — the mountains are far away, "togʻlarga" — toward the mountains, "togʻlardan" — from the mountains.
The words "yuqori" and "past" work in pairs: yuqorida/pastda, yuqoriga/pastga, yuqoridan/pastdan. Learn one — get the whole triple.

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.
