It is also a South-West Iranian language genetically closely related to Iranian languages such as Persian and Dari. Tajiks have lived together with Uzbek Turks for centuries and as a result they have influenced each other linguistically. In this article, two usages of –a šudan structure in Tajik are explained. This structure serves to mark both passivity and the aspect of completion. In this article, two usages of –a šudan structure in Tajik are explained. This structure serves to mark both passivity and the appearance of completion. The first use of the –a šudan structure in Tajik, the passive form is formed by combining the gerund form of a verb with the auxiliary verb šudan ’to be’. When we look at the structure of the completion aspect marker, which is its second use, it has been determined that there are common points between Uzbek Turkish and Tajik. It is seen that a language contact with Uzbek Turkish is effective in the emergence of the -a šudan completion aspect marker in Tajik. However, this is not always the case in Bukhara Tajik. Bukhara is one of the cities where Tajik-Uzbek Turkish is the most bilingual. In Bukhara Tajik, only one of the two uses of the -a šudan structure is evident. The use of a šudan as a passive structure is not seen. a šudan is used as a completion aspect marker in Bukhara Tajik. The prevalence of –a šudan in Bukhara Tajik, which corresponds to the aspect marker (i)b bo’lmoq in Uzbek Turkish, is attributed to Tajik-Uzbek bilingualism.}, number={7}, publisher={Gökçe Yükselen PELER}
