ko'proq is used to describe a greater amount or number of something.
Did you know?
- The word ko'p is an ancient Turkic root. It is a cognate of the word çok in Turkish, showing how the concept of 'more' has remained stable across Central Asian languages for centuries.
- While ko'proq means 'more', Uzbek speakers often use the word ortiq to describe things that are 'too much' or 'excessive', treating a surplus as a different category of quantity.
- Because the suffix -roq creates a comparative, Uzbek can technically create 'more' of almost any quality, such as shirinroq for 'sweeter' or chiroyliroq for 'more beautiful'.

- U ko'proq kitob o'qishni xohlaydi.He wants to read more books.
