Chiqishdagi

Chiqishdagi is an Uzbek grammatical form used as an attributive adjective meaning related to or located at the exit. It is formed from the noun chiqish, meaning “exit,” with the locative suffix -dagi, producing a word that generally precedes the noun it modifies.

Formation and function

The suffix -dagi attaches to the base noun to indicate location relative to that noun. When combined with chiqish, chiqishdagi conveys “in/at the exit” or “of the exit,” and serves to describe another noun in terms of its proximity to or relation with the exit. The resulting adjective typically precedes the noun it describes, as in chiqishdagi eshik, where eshik means “door.”

Usage

Chiqishdagi is used to describe objects, places, or signs that are situated near or at the exit, or to indicate a feature associated with the exit. It is common in building layouts, signage, and descriptive phrases about safety, routing, or accessibility near an exit. For example:

- Chiqishdagi eshik: the door at the exit or the exit door

- Chiqishdagi belgilar: signs at the exit

- Chiqishdagi xavfsizlik choralari: safety measures at the exit

Nuanced usage

As with other -dagi formations, chiqishdagi is primarily spatial but can carry extended meanings when used in context, such as referring to procedures or rules connected with the exit. The form remains relatively formal and is common in written Uzbek, signage, and official descriptions, though it can appear in everyday speech where location relative to an exit is being specified.
