qollanmoqda

Qollanmoqda is a present continuous passive form in Uzbek, derived from the verb qo’llanmoq, meaning to apply or to use. It indicates that something is currently being used, applied, or implemented. In standard spelling the full passive form is qo’llanilmoqda, but qollanmoqda is a widely encountered variant in everyday language and journalism.

Morphology and meaning: The form is built from the stem qo’llan- (to apply) with the passive marker -lan- and the present tense suffix -moqda, yielding a phrase that means “is being applied/used.” It signals ongoing action rather than a completed occurrence. The construction can refer to laws, methods, procedures, technologies, guidelines, and similar items undergoing application.

Usage: Qollanmoqda is common in news reports, policy documents, academic writing, and public discourse to describe what practice or rule is currently in effect. It can describe the adoption of a new method, the enforcement of a regulation, or the use of a technology in a given context.

Examples:

- Ushbu metod hozir qollanmoqda. (This method is currently being used.)

- Yangi qonunlar bugun qollanilmoqda. (The new laws are being applied today.)

Related forms and etymology: The term originates from the verb qo’llanmoq and the related noun and verb family, such as qo’llanma (manual) and qo’llanish (application). Qollanmoqda is part of a broader set of expressions describing the implementation and practical use of rules, techniques, and tools in Uzbek.
