Using a 282 fb{sup -1} data sample collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB e{sup +}e{sup -} collider, we study D{sup 0} decays to K{sup -}l{sup +}{nu} and {pi}{sup -}l{sup +}{nu} final states. The D{sup 0} flavor and momentum are tagged through a full reconstruction of the recoiling charm meson and additional mesons from fragmentation. The reconstruction method provides very good resolution in neutrino momentum and in q{sup 2}=(p{sub l}+p{sub {nu}}){sup 2}. Normalizing to the total number of D{sup 0} tags, we measure the absolute branching fractions to be B(D{sup 0}{yields}Kl{nu})=(3.45{+-}0.07{sub stat}{+-}0.20{sub syst})% and B(D{sup 0}{yields}{pi}l{nu})=(0.255{+-}0.019{sub stat}{+-}0.016{sub syst})% and the semileptonic form factors (within the modified pole model) f{sub +}{sup K}(0)=0.695{+-}0.007{sub stat}{+-}0.022{sub syst} and f{sub +}{sup {pi}}(0)=0.624{+-}0.020{sub stat}{+-}0.030{sub syst}.
