-ishi kutilmoqda

Is Expected to

Level 5

-ishi kutilmoqda means is expected to. Turn the verb into -ish + -i, then add kutilmoqda: Loyiha yil oxirigacha yakunlanishi kutilmoqda (The project is expected to be finished by the end of the year).

How It Works

How it is built. Turn the verb of the expected event into a noun with -ish (or -sh after a vowel). Add the possessive -i. Then add kutilmoqda:

  • yakunlan- (to be finished) → yakunlanishi kutilmoqda (is expected to be finished)
  • osh- (to rise) → oshishi kutilmoqda (is expected to rise)
  • boʻl- (to be) → boʻlishi kutilmoqda (is expected to be)

Kutilmoqda. This is kut- with the passive -il and -moqda, the same pattern as -ilmoqda. It does not change for person or number.

The subject. The person or thing the event is about usually stays at the front with no ending: Narxlar oshishi kutilmoqda (Prices are expected to rise). It may also take -ning: Loyihaning yakunlanishi kutilmoqda.

With a noun. Kutilmoqda can also follow a plain noun: Ertaga kuchli yomgʻir kutilmoqda (Heavy rain is expected tomorrow).

Other tenses. For the past, news uses kutilgan edi (was expected), which often hints that it did not happen. Kutilganidek means as expected. For a weaker possibility, compare -ishi mumkin (might).

Common Mistakes

  • Using a finite verb before kutilmoqda.

    Loyiha yil oxirigacha yakunlanadi kutilmoqda.
    Loyiha yil oxirigacha yakunlanishi kutilmoqda.

    The expected event must be an -ish noun with -i. A finite verb like yakunlanadi cannot link to kutilmoqda.

  • Dropping the possessive -i.

    Narxlar oshish kutilmoqda.
    Narxlar oshishi kutilmoqda.

    The -i ties the event to its subject: narxlar oshishi means the prices rising.
