Kelmoqdamiz

Kelmoqdamiz is a verb form found in Uzbek that involves the verb kelmoq (to come) and the 1st-person plural subject marker. It is typically described as expressing an action related to “we” coming, with a sense that the coming is imminent or ongoing from the speaker’s perspective. Its status varies by dialect and register; in many standard grammars this exact form is not set as a primary present tense variant, while in some spoken varieties it appears more commonly.

Formation and meaning: The form is generally analyzed as a combination of the infinitive kelmoq with a 1st-person plural suffix. In dialectal use it can convey near-future or present-progressive meaning, roughly analogous to “we are coming” or “we will come soon.” In standard Uzbek, speakers often choose alternatives such as kelayapmiz (we are coming) or constructions that explicitly mark ongoing action.

Usage and variation: Kelmoqdamiz is more typical in informal speech and certain regional varieties. Its appearance in formal writing or in widely taught grammar describes a nonstandard or dialectal pattern, with standard forms preferred for formal contexts. The exact interpretation—imminent arrival versus ongoing coming—can depend on surrounding context and regional usage.

Examples:

- Biz kelmoqdamiz. (We are coming.)

- In some dialects, you might hear a similar form used in contexts where the speaker intends to arrive soon.
