hayoti

Hayoti is a term that appears in Turkic-language contexts, most notably in Uzbek. The base word hayot means life. Hayoti is formed by adding a possessive suffix -i, producing a form that typically conveys “his life” or “her life” and functions within sentences as a possessive construction or as a component of names and titles. In standard Uzbek orthography, possessive constructions with hayot follow regular vowel harmony rules, and the form hayoti is common in written Uzbek when referring to someone’s life in a literal or figurative sense.

Beyond grammar, hayoti occurs as part of proper nouns in Central Asian naming practices and in titles of literary or media works. In some cases, hayoti may be transliterated as part of a surname or a given-name element; its meaning remains tied to the root “life.” The usage is typically localized and context-dependent, with no single global reference under the exact term hayoti.
