This study explores the semantic and syntactic functions of the ablative case in Uzbek and its corresponding expressions in English, with a focus on how spatial and causal relations are encoded across the two languages. The Uzbek ablative case (-dan) performs a wide range of grammatical roles, including indicating source, separation, comparison, cause, and agent in passive constructions. In contrast, English, lacking a dedicated ablative case, expresses these relations through prepositions such as from, than, because of, and by. Drawing on data from corpora, native speaker usage, and syntactic analysis, the article highlights the typological divergence between Uzbek’s agglutinative morphology and English’s analytic structure. Particular attention is given to how Uzbek utilizes a single morphological marker to cover multiple semantic domains, while English opts for distinct lexical means. The findings contribute to cross-linguistic typology, second language acquisition, and translation studies by offering a nuanced comparison of how spatial origin and causality are grammatically realized in structurally different languages.
