Muloqotchi

Muloqotchi is a term in Uzbek used to refer to a person who engages in communication. The word is formed from muloqot, meaning dialogue or communication, and the suffix -chi, which denotes an agent or doer, yielding “the one who communicates” or “the interlocutor.”

In everyday Uzbek, muloqotchi can describe any person who participates in a conversation or who communicates well. In formal contexts, the term may denote a mediator or go-between who facilitates exchanges between parties, such as in negotiations, conflict resolution, or diplomacy. The exact meaning depends on context; it can range from a simple conversational partner to a professional facilitator.

In linguistic and social-science usage, muloqotchi is used to refer to an interlocutor, one of the participants in a dialogue, whose role is analyzed in studies of pragmatics, discourse, and interaction.

Related terms include suhbatdosh (conversation partner) and vositachi (mediator or liaison), among others that describe roles within communication and negotiation. The word reflects a broad concept of persons who participate in conveying information, exchanging ideas, and maintaining dialogue in various social contexts.
