madaniyatni

Madaniyatni is Uzbek grammar, the definite direct-object form of the noun madaniyat, which means culture. In Uzbek, when culture is the object of a verb, the suffix -ni marks that definiteness and functions as the direct object. Therefore, madaniyatni translates roughly as “the culture” when used with a transitive verb, as in o'rganish (to study) or himoya qilish (to protect).

The base word madaniyat refers to the broad concept of a society’s culture, including its arts, traditions, social norms, institutions, and shared practices. The term is of Persian and Arabic origin, common across many Turkic and surrounding languages, and it is widely used in academic, educational, and cultural contexts to discuss civilization, cultural heritage, and social life.

Usage notes and examples:

- Madaniyatni o'rganish foydali. (Studying culture is beneficial.)

- Yangi madaniyatni qabul qilish muhim. (Adopting a new culture is important.)

- Madaniyatni himoya qilish jamiyatning vazifasidir. (Protecting culture is a duty of society.)

- Plural form: madaniyatlarni appears when referring to multiple cultures as the objects of a verb.

Related terms include madaniyat (culture), madaniy-tarixiy (cultural-historical), and madaniyatshunoslik (cultural studies). Spelling in Cyrillic Uzbek would be маданиятни, while in Latin Uzbek it is madaniyatni.
