Maqsadida

Maqsadida is an Uzbek grammatical construction used to express purpose or intention, roughly meaning “for the purpose of” or “in order to.” It is formed from the noun maqsad (purpose) with the possessive suffix -i and the locative suffix -da, yielding maqsadida. The form functions as an adverbial modifier that attaches to a following verb or clause to indicate the aim of the action.

In use, maqsadida typically follows a noun phrase or a verbal noun expressing the aim and answers questions like “for what purpose?” or “with what aim?” It is common in formal or written Uzbek and can occur with both finite and non-finite verb forms. A related, more explicit construction is maqsad uchun, which uses the word uchun (for) to express the same idea, though maqsadida is the more compact, idiomatic variant in many contexts.

Examples:

- U o'qishga maqsadida chiqdi. (He left for the purpose of studying.)

- Tashkilot faoliyatini kengaytirish maqsadida yangi loyiha ishga tushirildi. (A new project was launched for the purpose of expanding the organization’s activities.)

- Maktab yilini yakunlash maqsadida rejalar ko'rib chiqildi. (Plans were reviewed for the purpose of finishing the school year.)

Notes:

- Maqsadida is a flexible form that can combine with different verb forms to express various tenses and aspects.

- It is closely related to other purposive constructions in Uzbek and can be preferred for conciseness in formal writing.
