Intilmoqda

Intilmoqda is a present continuous form of the Uzbek verb intilmoq, meaning to strive, to aim, or to intend. It is used to describe an ongoing effort or aspiration by a subject, indicating that the action is currently in progress. The nuance often carries a sense of determined or purposeful pursuit, whether in personal development, politics, science, or education.

Etymology and form: The verb intilmoq means to strive or intend. The stem is intil-, the infinitive suffix is -moq, and the present continuous suffix -moqda marks ongoing action. Thus intilmoqda literally conveys “is striving/aiming.” Other person forms exist in the same verb family, used to express different subjects or grammatical persons, but intilmoqda specifically functions as the present-progressive form.

Usage and examples: Intilmoqda is common in formal writing, journalism, and everyday speech when describing ongoing effort. For example, U muvaffaqiyatga intilmoqda means “He is striving for success.” Biz kelajak uchun intilmoqda could be rendered as “We are striving for the future.” The term often appears with nouns or clauses indicating goals, plans, or ambitions, highlighting sustained effort rather than a single action.

Related terms include intilish, the noun meaning aspiration or ambition, and intilmoq, the infinitive verb describing the act of striving. Intilmoqda thus fits into a broader vocabulary for expressing motivation, intent, and ongoing effort in Uzbek.
