Sotmoq

Sotmoq is an Uzbek verb meaning "to sell." It is a common action word in Uzbek-speaking communities and appears in everyday conversation, commerce, advertising, and formal writing. As the infinitive form, it is used to describe the act of selling in general, rather than a specific tense.

Morphology and usage: Sotmoq is formed by the root sot- plus the infinitive suffix -moq. Like other Uzbek verbs, it is adapted for tense, aspect, mood, and person by attaching suffixes to the stem. Common constructions include present and past forms, as well as progressive or perfective variants through compound or suffixal modifications. For example, common simple forms in everyday speech might include men sotaman (I sell), u sotadi (he/she sells), and men sotdim (I sold). These examples illustrate how subject, tense, and aspect are expressed through suffixes attached to the sot- moq base.

Etymology and regional use: Sotmoq belongs to the Turkic language family and shares cognates with related verbs in neighboring languages. The root sot- is related to the concept of sale, and the infinitive -moq is a widespread Turkic infinitive suffix. The word is used across formal and informal Uzbek varieties, including Uzbekistan and Uzbek-speaking communities in adjacent regions.
