Qiymatli

Qiymatli is a term used in Uzbek and other Turkic languages that translates roughly as valuable or precious. It is derived from the noun qiymat, meaning value, price, or worth, combined with the adjectival suffix -li, yielding the sense of “having value” or “worthwhile.” The word functions as an adjective and can describe objects, people, ideas, or places that are regarded as important, significant, or of high monetary or intrinsic worth.

In everyday usage, qiymatli conveys both practical and evaluative meaning. For example, it can describe tangible valuables such as teknologi or art, as well as intangible worth such as a valuable idea or a person deemed important. The term can carry affectionate nuance when applied to people, and it may appear in proverbs or expressions that emphasize importance beyond mere price.

Beyond its use as an adjective, qiymatli appears in toponymy and cultural naming practices in some Turkic-speaking regions. Variants of the root appear in related languages, reflecting shared linguistic heritage across Uzbek, Azerbaijani, Turkish, and other Turkic languages. Because Qiymatli is primarily an ordinary descriptive word, it is not commonly recorded as a standalone international proper noun; any place named with this element would typically function as a local or regional toponym.
