ifodalaydigan

Ifodalaydigan is a participial form in Uzbek derived from the verb ifodalamoq, meaning to express. It functions as an attributive modifier meaning "that expresses" or "expressive," and is used to modify nouns in noun phrases or to introduce relative clauses.

Morphology and function: The form is created by attaching the suffix -ydigan (or -adigan, depending on phonology) to the verb stem ifodala-, producing a present-participle-like relative modifier. When placed before a noun, it yields phrases such as ifodalaydigan jumla (a sentence that expresses), ifodalaydigan uslub (an expressive style), and ifodalaydigan ibora (an expression that conveys). It generally agrees with the noun it modifies in number and definiteness, and it can also convey a dependent-clause sense within sentences.

Usage: In Uzbek writing and education, ifodalaydigan is common in descriptive language to indicate content that conveys or expresses a message, mood, or meaning. It is frequently found in grammar explanations, dictionaries, and literary analysis to illustrate how verbs can form descriptive modifiers.

Examples: Bu matn ifodalaydigan ma’noni ko’rsatadi. Uning gaplari ifodalaydigan kayfiyatni ochib beradi. Yozuv ifodalaydigan uslubga ega.
