davlatni

Davlatni is a form of the Uzbek noun davlat meaning “the state” or “government.” Specifically, davlatni is the accusative case form, used when the state is the direct object of a verb. The base word davlat refers to a political entity such as a state, government, or sovereignty, and it appears in a wide range of official, legal, and political language.

Etymology and usage: The Uzbek word davlat is borrowed from Persian or Arabic via Turkic languages, where related terms such as dawla carry the sense of state, power, or dynasty. In Uzbek, davlat covers concepts from national sovereignty to the institutions of government. The form davlatni is used in phrases where the state is the object of an action, for example: davlatni boshqarish (to govern the state), davlatni himoya qilish (to defend the state), or davlatni mustahkamlash (to strengthen the state).

Grammatical notes: Uzbek nouns decline for case and number. The accusative suffix -ni attaches to davlat to mark it as the direct object. In sentences, the word order typically follows a subject–object–verb pattern, so davlatni may appear after the subject and before the verb, depending on construction.

In discourse, davlatni commonly occurs in sentences about governance, policy, law, or national affairs. The related noun davlat (without suffix) is used when referring to the state as a subject or general concept, while davlatni specifies the state as the object of an action.
