sotilgan

Sotilgan is an Uzbek adjective formed from the verb sotmoq, meaning “to sell.” It is the past passive participle and translates as “sold” or “that has been sold.” It describes nouns to indicate that the item has already undergone a sale, typically appearing before the noun in Uzbek syntax. For example: “Bu telefon sotilgan” means “This phone has been sold,” and “sotilgan buyumlar” means “sold items.”

Formation and usage: The participle is created from the root sot- with the suffix -ilgan, a common pattern for past passive participles in Uzbek. The negative form is sotilmagan (“not sold”). When used attributively, sotilgan precedes the noun, as in “sotilgan tovarlar” (sold goods) or “sotilgan buyumlar” (sold items). In predicate position it can appear as in “Tovar sotilgan” (“The goods have been sold”). The word is neutral and widely used in commercial, inventory, and legal contexts to denote sale status.

Cross-linguistic note: Sotilgan has cognates in other Turkic languages, such as Turkish satılan, reflecting common Turkic root for “to sell” and similar participial formations.
