miqdori

Miqdori is a Uzbek noun meaning the amount or quantity of something. It is used to describe how much of an object, substance, or measure exists, and it appears in both everyday speech and formal writing. The term denotes extent, size, or volume in a numerical or measurable sense.

Etymology and form: Miqdori is formed from the noun miqdor, meaning quantity, with the possessive suffix -i. This suffix marks "its" or "of," so miqdori commonly appears in phrases like X ning miqdori, meaning "the quantity of X" or "its quantity." The base word miqdor is widely used in Turkic languages and has roots in historical Persian or Arabic forms for quantity or measure.

Usage and context: Miqdori is used with nouns that denote countable items as well as mass or measurable quantities. It appears in statistics, economics, agriculture, logistics, and daily language. In sentences, it often follows a subject with the possessive construction X ning miqdori to indicate the quantity of X. It can also stand in clauses describing changes or sufficiency, for example, indicating that the amount is enough or has changed.

Examples:

- Bu mahsulotlarning miqdori 100 dona bo‘ldi. (The quantity of these products is 100 units.)

- X ning miqdori oshdi. (The quantity of X increased.)

- Yetarli miqdor yo‘q. (There is not enough quantity.)
