pasaytirmoq

Pasaytirmoq is a verb in the Uzbek language meaning “to reduce,” “to decrease,” or “to lower.” It is used in both literal and figurative contexts. For example, one might say *sana pasaytirmoq* (“the temperature is dropping”) or *sizlikni pasaytirmoq* (“to reduce poverty”). The verb derives from the root *pasay-* which is associated with the concept of falling or subsiding. In Uzbek, it conjugates according to tense, person, and mood in a regular manner, following the language’s agglutinative structure.

In everyday speech, pasaytirmoq often appears in discussions of economics, weather, health, and resource management. It can also be found in idiomatic expressions such as *davomini pasaytirmoq* (“to diminish in influence”). The term appears in Uzbek literature and journalism to describe changes in numbers or conditions over time. Comparatively, the Russian equivalent *понижать* (ponizhát’) and the Persian *کاهش دادن* (kāḥesh dādan) convey similar meanings, reflecting shared linguistic heritage in the region.

Pasaytirmoq is a common verb in formal Uzbek, though less frequent in colloquial speech, where speakers might use simpler phrases like *kamaytirish* or *eng kuchli komishlar* to express the same idea. The word is an integral part of Uzbek discourse when expressing moderation or decline in measurable quantities.
