kelayotgan

Kelayotgan is an Uzbek present participle adjective formed from the verb kelmoq (to come). It describes something that is coming, arriving, or about to occur, and is often translated as “coming” or “upcoming” in English. It is used to modify nouns, for example: kelayotgan yil (the coming year), kelayotgan odam (the person who is coming), kelayotgan marosim (the upcoming ceremony).

Formation and usage: The form is created by attaching the participial suffix -ayotgan to the verb stem kel-. As a participial adjective, kelayotgan does not inflect for number or gender; it serves as a modifier before a noun and can appear in descriptive phrases or in clauses relating to future events. In Uzbek writing and speech, it is a common way to express immediacy or near-future orientation.

Examples:

- Kelayotgan yil uchun byudjet tasdiqlandi. (The budget for the coming year was approved.)

- Kelayotgan marosimga barcha xodimlar taklif etildi. (All staff were invited to the upcoming ceremony.)

- Kelayotgan kunlar oldindan rejalashtirilgan. (The coming days have been planned in advance.)

Notes: Kelayotgan is versatile and widely used in journalism, planning, literature, and everyday speech to convey anticipatory or near-future meaning. It contrasts with past participles such as kelgan (came/arrived) and other verb forms that indicate completed actions.
