Kerakligini

Kerakligini is a noun-form used in Uzbek to express the content clause of necessity, roughly translating to “the necessity” or “the need to.” It is formed from the adjective kerakli (necessary) with the suffix -lik to create keraklilik (the state or quality of being necessary) and then the accusative suffix -ni, yielding kerakligini in many sentences. The form functions as the object of verbs in subordinate clauses, linking a statement about obligation or requirement to the main clause.

Etymology and morphology: The word derives from the Uzbek root kerak (need, necessity) with the productive -li(k) suffix that turns adjectives into nouns describing a state or quality. The final -ni marks a definite direct object, so kerakligini typically appears in clauses such as “X kerakligini aytish” (to say that X is necessary) or “Y bajarilishi kerakligini bilaman” (I know that Y must be done).

Usage: Kerakligini is most common in formal or written Uzbek, especially in reported speech, policy language, or explanations of requirements. It is used to introduce or refer to a proposition about what is necessary. Examples:

- Bu ishning bajarilishi kerakligini bilaman. (I know that this work needs to be done.)

- Ularning kelishi kerakligini aytishdi. (They said that their coming is necessary.)

In summary, kerakligini is the accusative form of the noun of necessity in Uzbek, employed to discuss or report the necessity of an action or state within a clause. Its use is most typical in formal contexts where obligations or requirements are stated or queried.
