saqlanadigan

Saqlanadigan is an Uzbek participial adjective formed from the verb saqlanmoq (to be kept) or saqlamoq (to keep, store, preserve). The suffix -adigan marks a present-relative participle, yielding an adjective that describes a noun in terms of its capacity or possibility to be kept or preserved. In Uzbek usage, saqlanadigan typically precedes the noun it modifies, as in saqlanadigan ma'lumotlar (data that can be stored) or arxivga saqlanadigan hujjatlar (documents to be archived). The exact nuance—whether something is to be kept, can be kept, or should be kept—depends on context.

The form is common in technical, archival, and data-management language, where it conveys a property rather than an action by a subject. It forms part of noun phrases and helps express conditions, requirements, or characteristics: saqlanadigan materiallar (materials to be kept), saqlanadigan fayllar (files to be stored).

Related forms include the base verb saqlamoq (to keep/store), the passive saqlanmoq (to be kept), and other participial adjectives with -adigan, such as qidiriladigan (to be searched) or yoziladigan (to be written). These illustrate how Uzbek uses participles to create descriptive phrases and precise terminology.

Notes: As with other Uzbek participles, saqlanadigan agrees in number and definiteness with the noun it modifies. It is typically used within noun phrases or clauses rather than as a standalone word. This form is common in formal documentation, manuals, and academic writing to describe objects or data that are intended to be stored or preserved.
