Tushurmoq

Tushurmoq is a verb in the Uzbek language. It is formed from the root tush-, which conveys the sense of descent or downward movement, plus the infinitive suffix -moq. The core meaning of tushurmoq is to cause something to move to a lower position or to bring something downward; it can also describe a downward movement by the subject itself. The term covers both physical lowering and figurative uses, such as reducing level, intensity, or value, or bringing something under control, depending on context.

In usage, tushurmoq can be transitive, taking a direct object when the action is caused and external, as in lowering an object. It can also be used intransitively to describe a downward movement by the subject. The exact nuance is determined by accompanying words, particles, and the surrounding discourse.

Etymologically, tushurmoq belongs to a common Turkic verb pattern built around the root tush-, which has cognates and related forms across Turkic languages. The related noun tushirish, from the same root, denotes the act of lowering or the result of bringing something down.

In Uzbek, tushurmoq appears in standard language, across dialects, and in various registers. It follows ordinary Uzbek conjugation patterns for verbs ending in -moq, with tense, aspect, and mood expressed through the usual suffixes. See also: tushirish, verbs of downward movement.
