Summary/Abstract: The - l and - n suffixes are used for the passivity structure in historical and contemporary Turkic dialects. Therefore, passivity in also Uzbek is provided by - l and - n suffixes. But, passive structures have also been used from historical Turkish dialects to contemporary Turkic dialects without these suffixes, in other words, active appearance. Although these structures do not have any grammatical meaning or category in the Turkish language, they can be seen in some cases. Can be reduced grammatical features for various reasons, such as the law of least effort in the language or avoiding unnecessary suffixes. This area of usage, which is called zero morpheme in some linguistic sources, is used in syntax. Relative clause constructions without passivity suffix can be examples of such uses. Various examples of this area of use have also been identified in Uzbek. In this study, it will be stated how passive structures are established in Uzbek, and then the use of passive structures will be examined in two categories as attached and without attachment. In addition, comparisons will be made with various examples from other Turkic dialects.
