tilimizdagi

Tilimizdagi is a form in Uzbek grammar that expresses “in our language.” It is built from tilimiz (our language) with the locative-relational suffix -dagi, yielding a word that can modify a following noun to indicate that the described items exist in or belong to our language.

Morphology and meaning: tilimiz combines the noun til (language) with the possessive suffix -imiz (our), forming “our language.” The suffix -dagi attaches to this noun phrase to mean “in/within the one just mentioned,” producing tilimizdagi, i.e., “in our language” or “within our language.” The resulting form commonly functions as an attributive modifier for another noun.

Usage: tilimizdagi is used to refer to elements that are part of or found in our language, such as vocabulary, expressions, or textual material. It often appears in phrases like tilimizdagi so‘zlar (the words in our language), tilimizdagi iboralar (the expressions in our language), or tilimizdagi xatolar (the mistakes in our language). The construction emphasizes that the referenced items belong to or are contained within the language of the speaker or community.

Examples:

- Tilimizdagi xatolarni to‘g‘irlash kerak. (We need to correct the mistakes in our language.)

- Tilimizdagi so‘zlar ma’nosi o‘zgarishi mumkin. (The words in our language may change in meaning.)

- Kitob tilimizdagi matnlar orqali o‘rganiladi. (The book is studied through the texts in our language.)

Notes: While tilimizdagi conveys “in our language,” Uzbek also uses tilimizda (in our language) to mark location more generally. tilimizdagi is especially common when the speaker wants to modify a following noun to specify content or elements that pertain to the language itself.
