uyğun olaraq

In Accordance with Phrase

Level 5

Use uyğun olaraq to express that an action or situation aligns with a specific rule, law, or standard. It is the formal equivalent of 'according to' or 'in line with'.

How It Works

The phrase uyğun olaraq is a high-register construction used primarily in administrative, legal, and academic contexts. While the simpler görə can also mean 'according to', uyğun olaraq specifically emphasizes compliance and alignment with a benchmark.

Key Characteristics:

  • Case Requirement: When it means 'in accordance with', the preceding noun must take the dative case. For example: qanun (law) becomes qanuna uyğun olaraq.
  • Formal Register: It is the standard choice for official documents and scientific reports. A near-perfect synonym often used interchangeably in these contexts is müvafiq olaraq.
  • 'Respectively' Usage: In technical or statistical writing, it is the standard way to express 'respectively' when linking two lists of items (e.g., 'City A and City B have X and Y populations, respectively').
  • Structural Nuance: Unlike the adjective uyğun (which describes something as 'suitable'), the full phrase uyğun olaraq functions as an adverbial connector meaning 'in conformity with'.

    Word by Word: Baku and Ganja-of population-its suitable being 2.3 million and 330 thousand person-is.

    This example shows the 'respectively' use, where the numbers match the cities in the order they were named. In this sense 'müvafiq olaraq' is more common, and 'uyğun olaraq' is also seen.

Common Mistakes

  • Using the nominative case instead of the dative case.

    Qanun uyğun olaraq...
    Qanuna uyğun olaraq...

    The postposition 'uyğun olaraq' requires the dative case (-a/-ə) on the preceding noun.

  • Using it in very casual conversation.

    Different MeaningSənin sözünə uyğun olaraq gəldim.
    Sənin sözünə görə gəldim.

    While grammatically correct, 'uyğun olaraq' sounds too stiff for a casual chat with a friend; 'görə' is more natural there.
