Qatnash

Qatnash is a verb found in Uzbek and other Turkic languages, meaning to participate or take part in an activity, event, or discussion. It denotes active involvement rather than passive attendance and is commonly used in both formal and informal contexts. The term is closely connected with related forms in the same language family that express participation and involvement.

In Uzbek, qatnash is used with various suffixes and postpositions to indicate the event or setting of participation. Common constructions include phrases such as qatnashish (to participate), tadbirga qatnashish (to participate in an event), and a finite form such as qatnashdi (participated). A related noun qatnashish refers to the act of participating, and qatnashchi can denote a participant. The exact morphology may vary across languages and dialects, but the core meaning remains participation or engagement in an activity.

Usage examples:

- Biz fakultet yig‘ilishida qatnashmoqdamiz. (We are going to participate in the faculty meeting.)

These examples illustrate how qatnash is typically used to express involvement in events, programs, or discussions.
