Obektini

Obektini is a term used in Turkic-language grammar to denote the definite direct object form of the noun obekt, meaning “object.” In Uzbek and related languages, the direct object marker is typically a suffix attached to the noun; the result marks the object of a transitive verb as definite or known in the discourse. The form reflects how Turkish, Uzbek, Kazakh and other Turkic languages encode objecthood through suffixation alongside normal word order.

Morphology and formation are relatively straightforward: a noun such as obekt receives a specific object marker, commonly written as -ni in Uzbek-influenced transcription, producing a form like obektni. The exact spelling and phonology can vary by language or orthography, but the underlying function remains the same—identifying the object as the specific thing being acted upon. The definite object form normally precedes the verb in a sentence and coexists with other suffixes that may convey possessive or case information.

Usage examples illustrate its function. Men obektni ko‘rdim. (I saw the object.) U obektni o‘rganmoqda. (He is studying the object.) Obektini tahlil qiling. (Please analyze the object.) These constructions show how obektini-like forms mark the object in clauses with transitive verbs and how the object is positioned relative to the verb in typical sentence structure.

Variations exist across Turkic languages, with different orthographies and suffix choices, but the core idea—marking a definite direct object on the noun—remains consistent. See also: direct object, accusative case, Turkic grammar.
