This article provides a systematic analysis of the multifunctional properties of the auxiliary verb “ekan” in modern Uzbek. It identifies and illustrates several grammatical and semantic functions of this linguistic unit, including the expression of indirect information (evidentiality), unexpectedness and surprise (mirativity), intensification of conditional and optative meanings, inference and supposition, as well as its specific use in narrative and fairy-tale discourse. These functions of “ekan” are analyzed in relation to theories of evidentiality and mirativity in contemporary linguistics, while its distinctive position within the language system is established through comparison with synonymous forms and expressions (emish, deyishlaricha, -mish). The article aims to provide a theoretical and methodological foundation for future statistical and functional research using corpus-linguistic methods.
