izlanmoqda

Izlanmoqda is a present continuous form of the Uzbek verb izlanmoq, meaning to search, inquire, or investigate. It is used to describe an action that is currently underway, typically an ongoing search, inquiry, or investigation conducted by a person, group, or institution. The form functions as the predicate in sentences where the subject is the one performing or undergoing the searching or questioning.

Etymology and form: The base izlanmoq comes from the root izlan- related to izlash (to search). The infinitive suffix -moq is attached to form izlanmoq, and the present continuous suffix -moqda marks ongoing aspect. In standard Uzbek syntax, izlanmoqda is commonly used with third-person subjects to express an action in progress.

Usage and nuance: Izlanmoqda is common in formal, journalistic, and official Uzbek. It signals an ongoing inquiry by authorities, researchers, or organizations, and can describe both concrete searches (for a person or evidence) and more abstract investigations (studies or analyses). Examples include: "Politsiya hozir izlanmoqda." (The police are currently investigating.) "Hujjatlar izlanmoqda." (The documents are under investigation / being examined.) The phrase tends to be more neutral or formal than everyday spoken equivalents such as izlayapti.
