Keluvchi

Keluvchi is a word found in Uzbek and other Turkic languages, formed from the verb kelmoq meaning "to come" plus the agent-noun suffix -uvchi. It functions as a derivative that can denote either the doer of an action or something characterized by the action of coming. In grammar, keluvchi can behave as a present-participle or an agent noun, and it may modify a following noun or stand as a noun in certain contexts.

Usage and meaning

Keluvchi often conveys the sense of arrival or imminence, and its exact nuance depends on context. As a modifier, it commonly appears in noun phrases such as keluvchi mehmon “the guest who is coming” or keluvchi voqea “an upcoming event.” The form can thus express a person who comes or something that is about to arrive, bridging both action and time.

Relation to other forms

The suffix -uvchi is part of a broader set of Uzbek agent-noun formations derived from verb stems, such as ol- (to take) or yoz- (to write). The root kel- undergoes the usual phonological adjustments found in Turkic verand forms, but the general pattern remains consistent: a verb stem + -uvchi yields an entity associated with performing the action of the verb.
