Haqiqiy

Haqiqiy is an Uzbek adjective meaning real, true, or genuine. It describes something that corresponds to reality, is authentic, or accurate, and is used across contexts from everyday speech to formal writing.

The word derives from haqiqat, meaning truth or reality, which comes from Arabic haqq (truth) via Persian and other Turkic languages. The suffix -iy forms an adjective meaning “pertaining to” or “characteristic of.” The noun haqiqat expresses the concept of truth or reality; haqiqiy and haqiqat share a common root.

Haqiqiy commonly precedes a noun, for example: haqiqiy ma'lumot (genuine information), haqiqiy manba (primary source), haqiqiy mahsulot (authentic product), haqiqiy inson (genuine person), haqiqiy muammo (real problem). It can also describe abstract qualities, such as haqiqiy e'tibor (genuine attention). In usage, it is often contrasted with soxta (fake) or shubhali (dubious).

In media and literature, haqiqiy is used to stress authenticity of sources, events, or characteristics. Phrases such as haqiqiy voqea (a real event) or haqiqiy yo'nalish (genuine direction) appear to emphasize reality rather than speculation.

See also: haqiqat; hakiki; related Turkic cognates include Turkish hakiki and Azerbaijani haqiqi, all sharing the same root meaning real or true.
