The given article dwells on the semantico-morphological features of the Tajik prefixoid пур- denoting physical strength and power and its functional equivalents in English. The research is grounded in the literary material of Sadriddin Aini’s novel “Ghulomon” (“Slaves”). The study identifies 5 contextual examples of пур- derivatives, classifies them according to their morphological structure and semantic fields, and provides English translational equivalents. The article concludes that пур- functions as a highly productive derivational element in Tajik, imbuing stems with intensive and qualitative nuances, whereas English relies on analytic structures, reflecting typological differences between synthetic and analytic language systems.
