LingoflyOshqozonim ogʻriyapti: whose pain and whose body
Pain is named directly here: not "it hurts me" but "my back hurts": orqam ogʻriyapti. The possessive tail sticks to the organ, and the pronoun can be dropped altogether. For example: “Boshim ogʻriyapti, dorixonadan dori olaman.” — My head hurts; I will get medicine at the pharmacy. A rule from the Uzbek course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
Pain is named directly here: not "it hurts me" but "my back hurts": orqam ogʻriyapti. The possessive tail sticks to the organ, and the pronoun can be dropped altogether.
The tails follow the line-up: men — -m (oshqozonim), sen — -ng (oyoqing), u — -si (bilagi). Then biz — -miz (tishimiz), siz — -ngiz (qoʻlingiz), ular — -lari (suyaklari). Vowel harmony adjusts the vowel inside: qoʻl → qoʻlim, oyoq → oyoqim.
"Hurts now" is ogʻriyapti, "hurts in general" is ogʻriydi. The first is about today, the second about habit and weather: boʻgʻimlarim yomgʻirda ogʻriydi — my joints ache in the rain.
Whose organ on someone else takes -ning: onamning bilagi — "mom's wrist". The same build as firmaning foydasi — "the firm's profit".

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.
