raqamga

Raqamga is a grammatical form in Uzbek that combines raqam, meaning number or digit, with the postpositional suffix -ga. The -ga suffix marks direction toward, or an indirect object, similar to the English word “to.” Therefore raqamga designates a target that is a number, most often a phone number or other numerical identifier, rather than a person or place.

Raqamga is used when the verb’s recipient or target is expressed as a number. It appears in sentences describing actions directed at a number or when a number serves as the destination of communication or a transaction. Examples include Xabar raqamga yuborildi (The message was sent to the number) and Telefon raqamiga qo'ng'iroq qilindi (A call was made to the phone number). These forms show how numbers can function as objects or destinations in Uzbek sentences.

Notes: The exact surface form may appear as raqamga or raqamiga, depending on the surrounding words and whether possessive forms are involved within the noun phrase. Raqamga is one of several dative/allative case forms in Uzbek and illustrates how numerals and numerical identifiers participate in sentence structure. It is most commonly encountered in telecommunications, data entry, and contexts where numbers serve as recipients of actions.
