Hududdagi

Hududdagi is a grammatical form in Uzbek, used as an attributive adjective meaning “located in the region/territory” or “in the region.” It is formed from the noun hudud, meaning region or territory, combined with the locative-attributive suffix -dagi. The result describes something that pertains to or exists within a particular geographic area.

The suffix -dagi functions to tie a noun to a location, indicating that the modified noun is inside or associated with that location. In usage, hududdagi modifies a following noun to specify regional context. For example, hududdagi xavfsizlik choralari means security measures in the region; hududdagi infratuzilma loyihalari refers to infrastructure projects in the region; hududdagi ma’lumotlar denotes data for the region.

Hududdagi is predominantly a descriptive, non-proper noun form used in formal and semi-formal contexts, including official writing, journalism, and academic or policy discussions where regional distinctions are important. It is part of a broader set of memetic forms that Uzbek employs to express location and possession with place names, such as hududiy (regional) for a more general adjectival sense.

Related terms include hudud (region/territory) and hududiy (regional). The word hudud itself is often traced to historical influences from Persian or Arabic, while the -dagi suffix is a standard Turkic locative-attributive construction in Uzbek.
