qoyilishi

Qoyilishi is a noun in Uzbek derived from the verb qoyish, meaning to put, place, or set. It denotes the act or process of putting something in a particular position, or the resulting arrangement of objects. In standard Uzbek orthography it is written qoyilishi and may be transliterated as qo‘yilishi, with the apostrophe marking the glottal stop in the verb form.

Etymology and related forms: The word is formed with the nominalizing suffix -lishi, yielding the sense of “the act of putting” or “the state of being placed.” Related forms include qoyish (to put/placing) and qoyilgan (placed). The term has cognates across Turkic languages, including Turkish koyuluş, which convey a similar meaning of placement or installation.

Usage: Qoyilishi appears in both everyday speech and formal writing to describe how items are arranged, installed, or positioned. It can refer to the layout of furniture in a room, the installation of equipment in a building, or the placement of artifacts and other objects in a site or collection. In ritual or ceremonial contexts, it can denote the laying of offerings or other elements on an altar or ceremonial space. The precise sense depends on context and accompanying words, making qoyilishi a versatile, descriptive term for placement and arrangement.

Notes: While primarily a grammatical and descriptive term, qoyilishi is often found in discussions of design, architecture, archaeology, and arts and culture, where detailing the arrangement or installation of elements is important.
