ozgartiradigan

Ozgartiradigan is an Uzbek term written without diacritics as ozgartiradigan. In standard Uzbek orthography, the form is o'zgartiradigan, derived from the verb o'zgartirish (to change, to modify) with the causative suffix -dir- and the present-participle suffix -adigan. The resulting participle is used as an attributive adjective meaning “that changes” or “one who changes,” and can describe both agents of change and things that have the capacity to cause change.

Grammatical notes and usage patterns

Ozgartiradigan functions as a present active participle. It typically modifies a noun to indicate a changing action or a changing agent. For example, o'zgartiradigan qaror means “a decision that changes (something).” The form tends to emphasize the subject or entity that causes alteration Rather than the passive possibility of being changed. For expressed possibility or ability, Uzbek more often uses o'zgartiriladigan (“that can be changed”) or o'zgartirish mumkin (“can be changed”).

Semantic nuances

The word can denote either an active changer (the agent who makes changes) or a characteristic that produces change. Context determines whether it refers to an actor or to a changing property. When the meaning is strictly passive or reversible, speakers may prefer o'zgartiriladigan or other constructions to avoid ambiguity.
