Formal Scope Marker Üzrə

Level 5

The postposition üzrə is a formal marker used to specify a domain of expertise (e.g., 'expert in law'), adherence to a rule or route ('according to the plan'), or an immediate future action ('about to').

How It Works

1. Professional Scope and Expertise
In formal contexts, üzrə defines a field of study or work. It is the standard way to translate 'in' or 'on' for job titles and academic degrees.
Example: iqtisadiyyat üzrə mütəxəssis (specialist in economics).

2. Adherence and Reference
It indicates that an action is performed following a specific guideline, plan, or official route. While similar to görə, üzrə is more objective and administrative.
Example: plan üzrə (according to the plan).

3. Imminence (About to)
When paired with a verb in the infinitive form, it indicates that an action is just about to happen. This is often used in news reports or formal announcements.
Example: gəlmək üzrədir (is about to come).

4. Morphological Rules

  • Nouns: Always uses the nominative (base) form.
  • Pronouns: Uses the genitive form for mənim, sənin, onun, bizim, sizin, but the nominative for onlar.
  • Harmony: The word üzrə is invariant; it never changes to 'üzra' or 'üzre'.

Examples (4)

  1. O, beynəlxalq hüquq üzrə ekspertdir.

    He is an expert in international law.

    Word by Word: He, international law on expert-is.

    Here, 'üzrə' defines the specific professional field of the expert.

  2. İclas təsdiq edilmiş gündəlik üzrə keçirilir.

    The meeting is being held according to the approved agenda.

    Word by Word: Meeting approved agenda according-to is-being-held.

    In this administrative context, 'üzrə' shows adherence to a formal document (the agenda).

  3. Təyyarə enmək üzrədir.

    The plane is about to land.

    Word by Word: Plane to-land about-to-is.

    When combined with the infinitive 'enmək' (to land), it indicates the action will happen momentarily.

  4. Bizim üzrə heç bir qərar qəbul edilməyib.

    No decision has been made regarding our field/us.

    Word by Word: Our concerning no one decision accepted was-not-made.

    Note the use of the genitive 'bizim' before 'üzrə'.

Common Mistakes

  • Using the dative case with nouns before 'üzrə'.

    Plana üzrə işləyirik.
    Plan üzrə işləyirik.

    Learners often confuse 'üzrə' with 'görə' (which takes the dative case). 'Üzrə' must take the nominative case for nouns.

  • Using 'üzrə' for general topics instead of 'haqqında'.

    Mən sənin üzrə danışıram.
    Mən sənin haqqında danışıram.

    'Üzrə' refers to professional scope or adherence, not general topics of conversation. Use 'haqqında' for 'about'.
