tanlovini

Tanlovini is the Uzbek definite direct object form of the noun tanlov, which means competition, selection, or election. In Uzbek grammar, the suffix -ni marks a definite direct object, so tanlovini translates to “the competition” or “the election” when it functions as the object of a verb. The form is used to specify which competition is being referred to and to connect the noun with the surrounding clause.

The word is commonly used in formal and administrative language to discuss planned or ongoing contests, selections, or elections. It can pair with verbs such as o'tkazish (to conduct), qatnashmoq (to participate in), baholamoq (to assess), and yutmoq (to win). For example, “Tanlovini o'tkazish rejasi tasdiqlandi” means “The plan to conduct the competition was approved,” and “U tanlovini yutdi” means “He won the competition.” The construction is versatile and applies to academic, cultural, sports, or public events.

Etymology and morphology: tanlov is the root meaning contest or selection, and -ni is the definite direct object suffix in Uzbek. The form tanlovini thus reflects standard Turkic vowel harmony and suffixation patterns, making it a typical example of how direct objects are marked in Uzbek sentence structure.
