This study investigates gendered perceptions of politeness within Abdulla Qodiriy’s seminal Uzbek novel O‘tkan Kunlar (Bygone Days), with a focus on how linguistic expressions reflect and construct gender norms. Drawing on Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory and modern gender and language frameworks, the paper examines speech acts, honorifics, and discourse strategies used by male and female characters.
