Qatnashuvchi

Qatnashuvchi is an Uzbek noun that refers to a person who takes part in an activity, event, competition, or gathering. It is formed from the verb qatnash (to participate) with the agentive suffix -uvchi, which creates a word for someone who performs the action. In this sense, a qatnashuvchi is someone who participates rather than someone who attends passively.

The term is used across various domains, including sports, conferences, surveys, and cultural events. In sports, athletes and competitors can be described as qatnashuvchilar, while in other settings the word often denotes participants who actively contribute or take part in organized activities. In formal Uzbek texts, synonyms such as ishtirokchi are also common; ishtirokchi emphasizes participation more generally, whereas qatnashuvchi can carry a nuance of active engagement.

Grammatical notes: the plural form is qatnashuvchilar. Possessive forms follow standard Uzbek morphology (qatnashuvchining, qatnashuvchilarining). The word is neutral and widely used in modern Uzbek, including official, academic, and media contexts.

See also: qatnashish (to participate), qatnashuv (participation), ishtirok etish (to take part). Related terms help distinguish levels of involvement, with qatnashuvchi focusing on the doer of the participation and ishtirokchi often appearing in broader or formal contexts.
