Qoshimcha

Qoshimcha, often written qo’shimcha in standard Uzbek orthography, is a term used in Uzbek to denote something added beyond the base item. It functions both as an adjective meaning "additional" and as a noun meaning "an addition, appendix, or supplement." The word is common in official language, education, business documents, and everyday speech.

Etymology and form: The term derives from the verb qo’sh- meaning "to add" and the suffix -imcha, which forms adjectives or nouns indicating augmentation or supplementary status. The concept is parallel in other Turkic languages, for example Kazakh qusымsha (қосымша) with a similar meaning.

Usage: As an adjective, qoshimcha describes something that is extra or added, as in qo’shimcha imkoniyatlar (additional opportunities) or qo’shimcha ma’lumotlar (additional information). As a noun, it refers to an attachment or supplement in a document or context, such as qo’shimcha ilova (attachment/addendum) or qo’shimcha band (additional clause/section). In formal settings, it often labels parts of contracts, forms, or reports that accompany the main content.

See also: Related Turkic forms include Kazakh қосымша (qusымsha). In many contexts, equivalent concepts in other languages, such as Russian dodatok or English appendix, convey a similar meaning.

Notes: While the term is intrinsic to Uzbek, its usage is understood across Turkic-speaking communities and in multilingual documents where Uzbek terminology is employed.
