Tarkibida

Tarkibida is a term used in Uzbek grammar to mean “in its composition” or “within its contents.” It is formed from tarkib (composition, content) plus the possessive suffix -i (its) and the locative suffix -da (in, inside), giving tarkibida. This form is used to indicate that something exists inside the internal components or contents of another object, such as a plan, a book, or a dish.

In practice, tarkibida introduces what is contained within something. It is common in formal writing, academic prose, journalism, and documentation when discussing structure, ingredients, or included elements. Examples:

Loyihaning tarkibida uch bo'lim bor. (There are three sections in the plan’s structure.)

Taomning tarkibida go'sht, kartoshka, sabzavotlar va ziravorlar mavjud. (The dish’s ingredients include meat, potatoes, vegetables, and spices.)

Kitobning tarkibida bosh qahramonlar, voqealar va yakun haqida ma'lumotlar keltirilgan. (The book’s contents include information about the main characters, events, and ending.)

Variants and notes: Tarkibida is part of a larger possessive construction. If the possessor is not specified, a simpler form tarkibda can be used to mean “in the composition.” To refer to the composition itself, one can say tarkibi or tarkibining tarkibi, depending on the syntactic role. The phrase is widely used across genres to discuss internal components rather than external location.
