hududga

Hududga is a postpositional form in Uzbek that marks direction toward a territory, border, or region. It is formed from the noun hudud (territory, border, region) plus the dative/direction suffix -ga, and functions as a case form indicating destination or entry.

Etymology and form: Hudud originates from a word meaning limits or boundaries, with the suffix -ga added to express movement toward something. The -ga suffix is a standard Turkish dative/goal marker, used to show direction, destination, or target in many phrases.

Usage: In sentences with verbs of motion, hududga expresses “to the territory” or “toward the border.” Common collocations include hududga borish (to go to the border/territory) and hududga kirish (to enter the territory). As a case form, hududga cannot stand alone as a noun and typically accompanies a verb or other predicate to specify where an action is directed. It appears in everyday speech as well as formal or administrative contexts to specify the destination of actions such as travel, access, or jurisdiction.
