ishlamayapti

Ishlamayapti is a verb form in Uzbek that expresses that something is not functioning or not working at the moment. It comes from the verb ishlamoq (to work, to function) and is used to describe devices, machines, systems, or processes that are currently failing or unusable.

The form is the present continuous negative construction. It combines the verb root ishla- with the negative particle -may- and the present-continuous suffix -apti, yielding ishlamayapti for third-person singular. In everyday use, it conveys a sense of ongoing malfunction rather than a permanent state. For example, Kompyuter ishlamayapti means “The computer is not working,” and Mashinasi ishlamayapti means “Its machine/vehicle is not functioning.”

Usage notes: ishlamayapti is commonly employed for gadgets, household appliances, software, or mechanical systems that fail to operate. It can also describe processes that fail to proceed as expected. In more general statements about capability, speakers might use other forms such as ishlamaydi (does not work) for simple, non-progressive statements.
