Dasturlar

Dasturlar is an Uzbek noun formed as the plural of dastur, and it denotes programs, plans, schedules, or software. Its exact meaning depends on context, encompassing computer software, educational curricula, and organized sets of activities. In everyday use, dasturlar can refer to any arranged sequence of activities or a list of items to be carried out.

In computing and technology, dastur commonly means a computer program or software application. Phrases such as kompyuter dasturlari (computer programs) or dastur ishlab chiqish (software development) illustrate this usage. In educational and organizational contexts, dastur often means a curriculum or course of study, for example o‘quv dasturi (educational program) or darslar dasturi (lesson plan). It can also describe a timetable or program of events, such as konsert dasturi (concert program) or yillik dastur (annual program).

Etymology traces dastur to Persian and Arabic roots meaning order, plan, or code. Over time this sense broadened in Uzbek to cover both formal documents and practical arrangements, including software and institutional plans. The plural form, dasturlar, is widely used in official, academic, and media language when referring to multiple programs, curricula, or schedules.

Usage notes: In Uzbek, possessive and plural endings attach to dastur or dasturlar (e.g., dasturlarini, dasturlarimiz). In computing contexts, distinguish a single program with dastur and multiple programs with dasturlar.
