birlashib

Birlashib is an Uzbek verbal form that functions as an adverbial participle, derived from the verb birlashmoq (to unite, to join together). It expresses that the action of the main clause is carried out by multiple subjects in cooperation or in a united manner. The sense is often best translated as “having joined together,” “together,” or “in unison.” The form is common in standard Uzbek and is used in both written and spoken language to convey coordinated effort or collective action.

Usage and meaning

Birlashib is used to describe how an action is carried out, emphasizing collaboration among the subjects rather than the action itself. It typically connects to the main verb of the sentence and can indicate simultaneous or cooperative activity. For example: “Qishloq fuqarolari birlashib yo‘lni ta’mirladi” means “The villagers joined together to repair the road.” Another example: “Ular birlashib yechim topdilar” means “They joined forces to find a solution.” The nuance is voluntary cooperation or organized effort rather than mere sequential actions.

Relationship to related terms

Birlashib is related to birlashish (to unite/join) and birlashuv (unity, coalition). The adverbial participle birlashib contrasts with verb forms that describe a single actor’s independent action; birlashish and birlashuv refer more to the process or state of uniting rather than the manner of a specific action.

Usage notes

Birlashib is suitable for formal and informal contexts, including journalism, literature, and everyday speech. It implies coordination or collective work and can be used to highlight collaborative outcomes or group-based initiatives.
