LingoflySurib qoʻymoq, uzib qoʻymoq: done and left
The tail -ib glues two verbs together: first the action, then qoʻymoq — "to put and leave". For example: “Stulni surib qoʻying.” — Shift the chair. A rule from the Uzbek course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
The tail -ib glues two verbs together: first the action, then qoʻymoq — "to put and leave".
Surib qoʻymoq — shift it and leave it there: "surib qoʻying" — do give it a nudge. Uzib qoʻymoq — to interrupt: cut and leave it cut. Tashlab qoʻymoq — to drop and not come back.
Without qoʻymoq the action simply runs: surmoq — to move, uzmoq — to tear. With qoʻymoq the action is already done, and its result stands.
The same frame carries the sense of setting something up: yoʻlga qoʻymoq — literally "to put on the road". That is, to get a thing working.

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.
