tasavvurini

Tasavvurini is a form of the Uzbek noun tasavvur, meaning imagination, notion, or mental image, with the definite direct-object suffix -ini. It is used to indicate “one’s imagination” or “the imagination” as a specific thing that is being acted upon by a verb, for example as the object of expressing, forming, or arousing.

Linguistic background and usage: Tasavvur is a Persian loanword that has been integrated into Uzbek and other Turkic languages. The suffix -ini marks the definite direct object, so tasavvurini translates roughly to “the imagination” in a context that specifies whose imagination is meant. This construction is common in literary and formal Uzbek, and it appears in ordinary speech when speakers want to refer to a particular imagined content or to the act of engaging with one’s own imagination.

In usage, tasavvurini often occurs with verbs such as ifoda etmoq (to express), uyg’otmoq (to arouse or stimulate), or kengaytirmoq (to broaden) among others. For example, rassom o‘z tasavvurini ifoda etdi means “the artist expressed his imagination,” and o‘qituvchi o‘quvchilarning tasavvurini uyg‘otdi means “the teacher aroused the students’ imagination.” The form can also appear in more abstract or contemplative contexts when discussing inner life, creativity, or perception.

Related terms include tasavvur (imagination, notion) and tasavvurni kengaytirmoq (to broaden one’s imagination). Tasavvurini remains a mainly literary or formal expression in modern Uzbek, conveying a precise, object-focused reference to what a person imagines or envisions.
