majburiydir

Majburiydir is a word in Azerbaijani that denotes obligation. It is used to say that something must be done or followed because of a rule, law, or policy. The form is a predicative adjective derived from the noun majbur (one who is compelled) with the copula suffix -dir, yielding the meaning “is obligatory” or “is mandatory.”

Etymology and morphology: The root majbur traces to older Persian-Arabic loanwords common in Azerbaijani and has been reinforced through Turkish influence. The suffix -dir marks the third-person singular present copula, so majburidir literally translates as “is obligatory.” It agrees with the subject in number and person in standard Azerbaijani, though in practice many sentences use an impersonal construction.

Usage and examples: Majburidir appears in official and legal texts to label requirements. Examples: “Bu sənədlərin təqdim edilməsi majburidir.” (Submission of these documents is mandatory.) “Təhlükəsizlik qaydalarına riayət edilməsi majburidir.” (Compliance with safety rules is mandatory.) It can be negated by “majbur deyil” or, in more formal style, “majbur deyildir” to express that something is not mandatory. Related terms include məcburi and məcbur, which carry similar meanings but with different nuance or register.
