Hüquqi

Hüquqi is an Azerbaijani adjective meaning legal or juridical, used to describe things connected with law, rights, or the legal system. It appears in phrases such as hüquqi şəxs (legal entity), hüquqi öhdəlik (legal obligation), and hüquqi sənəd (legal document). The term is used across civil, commercial, and administrative law to distinguish lawful status or actions from those that are not.

Etymology and related terms: Hüquqi is derived from hüquq (law, right) and is cognate with Turkish hukuki; similar forms exist in other Turkic languages, reflecting a shared legal vocabulary. In legal language, the distinction between hüquqi and Fiziki is often emphasized, such as in the contrast between hüquqi şəxs (juridical person) and fiziki şəxs (natural person).

Usage and compounds: The adjective also forms common legal terms, including hüquqi baza (legal basis), hüquqi akt (legal act), and hüquqi qayda (legal rule). It is routinely used to modify institutions, documents, rights, and obligations to indicate their connection to law or regulatory authority.
