Grammatikasida

Grammatikasida is an Uzbek grammatical form that means “in the grammar” or “in its grammar.” It is formed by adding the possessive suffix -si to the noun grammatika (grammar) to create grammatikas(i), and then adding the locative suffix -da, resulting in grammatikasida. The non-possessive counterpart grammatika + da yields grammatikada, meaning “in the grammar.” The key distinction is that grammatikasida marks possession (its grammar) or can function in a context where the grammar being referred to is specified, whereas grammatikada simply indicates location within grammar more generally.

Morphologically, the construction follows the standard Turkic pattern of noun + possessive suffix + locative suffix. The sequence enables precise references in scholarly or instructional texts, such as pointing to content within a particular grammar or to a feature described in someone’s grammar.

Usage notes and scope: grammatikasida is most commonly encountered in educational, linguistic, or descriptive writing about language rules, syntax, or grammatical descriptions. It can appear in clauses that discuss where a rule is stated, where an example is found, or where information about grammar is located within a reference work. While closely related forms exist (for example, the non-possessive grammatika for “grammar” in general), grammatikasida specifically conveys locational meaning tied to a particular grammar.

In cross-linguistic contexts, similar constructions may appear in other Turkic languages with analogous suffixation, though exact forms vary by language.
