tegishli

Tegishli is an Uzbek adjective meaning belonging to, related to, or pertinent. It is used to indicate attribution, relevance, or connection between entities and typically precedes the noun it modifies. In everyday and formal Uzbek, tegishli appears in phrases such as tegishli bo‘lim (the relevant department) and tegishli ma’lumot (pertinent information). The form can be applied to both singular and plural nouns, with no change to the adjective itself.

Origin and usage notes: Tegishli originates in the Turkic language family and is widely used across Uzbek-speaking communities as part of standard vocabulary. It is common in official, legal, educational, and media texts to denote that something pertains to a specific category, group, or context. As with most Turkic adjectives, tegishli typically remains in a single form while the noun it modifies bears any required number or case markers.

Grammatical behavior and examples: Tegishli functions as a descriptive modifier and does not carry gender. Examples include tegishli bo‘lim (the relevant department), tegishli xodimlar (the relevant staff), and tegishli ma’lumotlar (the pertinent information). The word helps signal scope, relevance, or affiliation in statements, documents, and classifications.
