Annotation: In the past, from very ancient times, peoples lived in neighborly relations. These relations affected various aspects of culture, and in turn, the enrichment of languages due to external factors. In addition, the relations between the Uzbek and Chinese peoples go back to the distant past. There is information in the sources that some plants and trees were brought to China from Turkestan and cultivated. It is also known that some dishes of Chinese cuisine were adopted by the Uzbek people mainly through the Uyghurs. All these processes served to enrich our language with words taken from the Chinese language. This article is devoted to changes in form and meaning of words that have been adopted from Chinese.
