qoshish

Qoshish, written in standard Uzbek as qoʻshish, is a verb meaning to add or to attach, and it can also function as a noun meaning the act of adding or an addition. In everyday language it is used to describe combining items, numbers, or concepts. The word is linked to related forms such as qoʻshimcha (additional, supplementary) and qoʻshilgan (added, attached).

Etymology and related forms: The term derives from Turkic roots associated with joining or attaching. The nominal from the verb is qoʻshish, and related adjectives and participles describe things that are added or supplementary. In standard Uzbek orthography the apostrophe in qoʻshish marks a phonetic separation; casual writing sometimes renders it as qoshish.

Usage: In mathematics, qoʻshish refers to the addition operation. For example, “Ikki sonning qoʻshilishi uchga teng” means “The sum of two numbers is equal to three.” More generally, qoʻshish is used when adding elements to a list, combining items, or attaching something to another object: “Biz roʻyxatga yangi element qoʻshishimiz kerak” (We need to add a new element to the list).

Notes: While qoʻshish is the widely understood form, many texts and learners encounter the variant qoshish without the apostrophe. In formal Uzbek, qoʻshish is preferred, and related terms like qoʻshimcha and qoʻshilgan are commonly used to express related meanings.
