ishlatiladigan

Ishlatiladigan is an Uzbek adjective formed from the verb ishlatmoq, meaning "to use" or "to employ." The word functions to describe something that can be used or is usable, and it is commonly found in technical, instructional, and formal Uzbek texts. In English, it can be translated roughly as "that can be used" or "usable."

Morphology and formation: The form is a present passive participle created by attaching the suffixes -il- and -adigan to the verb stem ishlat- (to use). The resulting ishlatiladigan acts as an adjective that can modify a noun, for example ishlatiladigan vosita, meaning "a device that can be used" or "usable tool." The construction follows a broader Turkic pattern where -iladigan marks potential or possible action in a passive sense.

Usage notes: Ishlatiladigan describes usefulness or suitability in a given context, rather than actual usage. It typically precedes the noun it modifies, and it is distinct from forms that indicate actual or ongoing usage (such as those derived from ishlat- in different tenses or aspects). The term is common in manuals, specifications, product descriptions, and policy language to indicate that something is appropriate for use or capable of being used.

Examples: Ishlatiladigan vosita xavfsiz bo'lishi kerak. (The tool that can be used must be safe.) Ishlatiladigan dasturlar ro'yxati yangilanmoqda. (The usable programs list is being updated.)
