Chiqarilayotganda

Chiqarilayotganda is an Uzbek grammatical form used to introduce a temporal clause meaning “while it is being released” or “at the time of release.” It is a participial construction built from the verb chiqarmoq/chiqarilmoq (to release, to publish) in the present passive stem, combined with the temporal suffix -ganda, which marks a time clause meaning “when” or “while.” The whole clause typically appears before or after the main clause and indicates that the action of the dependent clause occurs concurrently with, or provides background for, the main event.

The form emphasizes the ongoing nature of the release action, rather than a completed release. It contrasts with related forms such as chiqarilgananda (when/after it was released) or chiqarilayotgan (being released) in other syntactic or temporal contexts. This construction is common in formal and literary Uzbek, including journalism, academic writing, and literary prose; it is less frequent in casual speech, where simpler expressions may be preferred.

For learners, recognizing the pattern helps: the base verb contributes the core meaning of “release,” the present passive participle part signals ongoing action, and the suffix -ganda marks a time clause. The construction can attach to different subjects to describe concurrent release processes, such as products, publications, or announcements.
