The way of forming English, Uzbek and Russian short compounds are the same. There are three ways of forming short compounds:

1. 
   The solid or closed form in which two usually moderately short words appear together as one. Solid compounds most likely consists of short (monosyllabic) units that often have been established in the language for a long time. Examples are; housewife, lawsuit, and wallpaper.
   

Uzbek examples are: сувилон, тоғолча, гултувак.
