Yaratmaq

Yaratmaq is a common verb in Azerbaijani meaning to create, to generate, or to produce. It is used for bringing something into existence, whether material, artistic, technological, or conceptual. The term also appears in broader phrases such as creating opportunities, creating a solution, or creating a work of art. In Turkish, a closely related form is yarатmak, and many Turkic languages share cognate verbs with similar meanings, such as yaratmoq in Uzbek.

Etymology and related forms: Yaratmaq derives from the Turkic root yarat- that conveys the act of creation. Related nouns include yaratma (creation or act of creating), yaradılış (origin or creation as a process), and yaradıcı (creator). The sense can extend to both tangible production and intangible invention, such as ideas, systems, or institutions.

Usage and examples: In everyday Azerbaijani, one can say “Bir əsər yaratmaq” to mean “to create a work of art” or “Bir ideya yaratmaq” for “to generate an idea.” The verb is regular and follows standard Turkic conjugation patterns. Examples include: “O yeni bir model yaratdı” (He created a new model), “Biz yeniliyi yaratmaq üçün çalışırıq” (We are working to create innovation). It can also express causing something to exist or occur, as in “problem yaratmaq” (to create a problem).

Grammatical notes: The infinitive is yaratmaq. Present tense forms include yaratır, past tense yaratdı, and future yaratacaq, with appropriate person/tense endings. The participles include yaratmış (created) and other derived forms common to Azerbaijani verbs.
