Qoshilib

Qoshilib is a verbal participle form used in several Turkic languages, most notably Uzbek andUyghur, derived from the verb qo’shilmoq, meaning to join or to be added. The base qo’shil- carries the sense of inclusion or combination; adding the participle suffix -ib yields qoshilib, which can function as an adverbial participle or circumstantial participle. In transliteration, the form may appear as qoshilib in some sources and qo’shilib in standard Uzbek orthography, with variations reflecting different scripts or transcription systems.

Grammatical function and usage

Qoshilib typically marks accompanying action or means, roughly translating as “by joining,” “together with,” or “in joining.” It is used to connect a subordinate action to the main clause, indicating concurrency, cooperation, or manner of the action. In narrative or descriptive prose, qoshilib can introduce information about actions performed in conjunction with the main verb, or describe how something is achieved through joint effort. The exact placement and suitability of qoshilib can vary by dialect and syntactic construction.

Variants and notes

The form is closely related to the infinitive or verbal stem qo’shilish (the noun/verb meaning “joining” or “joining itself”) and to the broader category of adverbial participles in Turkic grammar. Dialectal differences may affect its frequency, position relative to the main verb, and the preferred orthography. Learners should consult a grammar that corresponds to the specific Turkic language or dialect they study to confirm exact rules and examples.
