Boshlayapmiz

Boshlayapmiz is an Uzbek verb form meaning we are starting or we are beginning. It is the present continuous form of the verb boshlamoq, which means to begin or to start. The construction combines the stem boshlay- with the progressive particle -ap- and the first-person plural suffix -miz, marking that the action involves the speaker and others. In Uzbek, the subject pronoun biz is often understood from the verb ending, so the phrase can stand alone without an explicit subject.

Usage and function include signaling the initiation or ongoing nature of an action, event, or process. It is used in everyday conversation as well as in formal contexts to indicate that a task is underway or about to commence. The form emphasizes ongoing activity rather than a completed action, and it can introduce what follows, such as a plan, project, or routine.

Examples:

- Biz yangi loyiha ustida ishlayapmiz. (We are working on a new project.)

- Biz darsni boshlayapmiz. (We are starting the lesson.)

- Bugun tadbirga tayyorgarlik ko‘rayapmiz; biz boshlayapmiz. (Today we are preparing for the event; we are starting.)

Notes: As with other Uzbek present-progressive forms, it conveys immediacy and continuity. The phrase is common in speech and can appear in written text, particularly in announcements, meetings, and instructional settings.
