imkoniyatini

Imkoniyatini is a grammatical form in Uzbek that derives from the noun imkoniyat, meaning opportunity or possibility. It represents the definite direct object form of the noun, used when the speaker refers to a specific opportunity that is the object of an action. This form often appears with a possessive determiner (such as uning “his/her/its” or mening “my”) to indicate ownership before the definite object marker -ni.

Etymology and form: imkoniyat comes from Persian/Arabic roots related to ability and possibility, with the abstract-noun suffix -iyat. The ending -ni marks a definite direct object in Uzbek, so imkoniyatini combines the base word with possession and the object marker to express “the opportunity of X” as the object of a verb.

Usage: The form is common in formal or written Uzbek and occurs when a speaker wants to specify a particular opportunity belonging to someone or something. It can appear as part of phrases like uning imkoniyatini or mening imkoniyatimni, which function as the definite object of the verb in the sentence.

Examples:

- Uning imkoniyatini kengaytirish uchun qo’shimcha sarmoya ajratildi. Translation: Additional funding was allocated to expand his/her opportunity.

- Mening imkoniyatimni kengaytirish yo’llari muhokama qilindi. Translation: Ways to expand my opportunity were discussed.
