Hayotidagi

Hayotidagi is an Uzbek grammatical form meaning “in one’s life” or “in life.” It is built from the noun hayot (life) with the locative-relational suffix -dagi and the third-person possessive suffix -i, functioning as an adjective-like modifier that refers to events, experiences, or things that occur within a person’s life.

Morphology and structure: The combination hayot + -dagi + -i yields hayotidagi. The -dagi element conveys the sense of “in/within” associated with life, while -i marks possession (his/her/its). The resulting form directly modifies a following noun, creating phrases such as “his life in X” or “the X in life.”

Usage: hayotidagi is common in biographies, autobiographies, literary analysis, and everyday speech to situate statements within a person’s life. Examples include: uning hayotidagi voqealar (the events in his life), hayotidagi muvaffaqiyatlar (the successes in life), hayotidagi do‘stlar (the friends in his life).

Notes: The construction is gender-neutral and can be used regardless of the subject’s gender. In a sentence, the possessive pronoun that precedes hayotidagi clarifies whose life is being referred to, as in uning hayotidagi holatlar.

See also: hayot (life); hayotiy (lifelike or pertaining to life). The hayotidagi form illustrates a common Uzbek pattern of forming context-specific modifiers by combining a noun with locative-relational and possessive suffixes.
