harakatlarining

Harakatlarining is a genitive-style form found in Turkic languages such as Uzbek and Turkish, built from harakatlar, the plural of harakat, with a possessive or genitive suffix. The phrase literally means “of the harakat” or “their harakat,” and is used to indicate possession or association between nouns in a sentence.

In these languages, harakat refers to diacritic marks that indicate vowel sounds and other phonetic features in scripts that use Arabic-origin orthography. Common harakat include the short vowels fatha, damma, and kasra, as well as tanwin, sukun, and shadda. Harakatlarining thus connects the concept of these diacritics to another noun, signaling that something belongs to, relates to, or is described in terms of harakat.

Usage-wise, harakatlarining appears mainly in formal or descriptive texts—linguistic descriptions, orthography guides, dictionaries, and academic discussions about Arabic-script writing systems in Turkic languages. It functions to form noun phrases that express possession or attribution, much like other genitive constructions in the language family.

Example usage in context can be seen in phrases such as harakatlarining ro'yxati, meaning “the list of the harakat,” or harakatlarining belgilarini o’zgartirish, meaning “changing the marks of the diacritics.” These constructions help clarify which diacritic system or set of marks is being referred to in a given discussion.
