LingoflyChunki, agar…sa, keyin: two thoughts in one sentence
Four connectors stitch short sentences into a story. chunki — because, agar … -sa — if, keyin — after, plus the already familiar va and lekin. That is enough for almost any story. For example: “Uyga boraman, chunki kech.” — I am going home, because it is late. A rule from the Uzbek course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
Four connectors stitch short sentences into a story. chunki — because, agar … -sa — if, keyin — after, plus the already familiar va and lekin. That is enough for almost any story.
Chunki explains the cause and stands in the second half of the sentence: Uyga boraman, chunki kech — I am going home, because it is late. The comma before it follows the English habit.
Agar … -sa is "if": agar itself opens the condition, and the tail -sa sticks to the verb: Agar yomgʻir yogʻsa, uyda qolaman — if it rains, I will stay home. The tail is the second half of "if".
Keyin — after: ovqatdan keyin — after the meal, ishdan keyin — after work. The "from" is "-dan", the same suffix as in "where are you from". And shuning uchun — therefore — opens the second sentence, the way English "so" does.

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.
