Büyütülüyor

Büyütülüyor is a Turkish verb form that expresses the present continuous passive voice of büyütmek, meaning “is being enlarged,” “is being increased,” or “is being raised/raised.” The form is used when the subject undergoes the action of making something larger or bringing it up, and the agent performing the action is not stated or is unknown.

Morphology and construction: The base verb büyütmek means to enlarge, increase, or raise. To form the present continuous passive, Turkish creates the passive stem by adding the suffix -ül- to büyüt- and then attaches the present continuous ending -üyor (with appropriate vowel harmony). The resulting form is büyütülüyor. The number and person of the subject are not indicated in the verb itself; context determines whether it refers to a singular or plural subject. The plural would be expressed as büyütülüyorlar, while a singular subject remains büyütülüyor.

Usage: Büyütülüyor is used in contexts where growth, enlargement, or raising is happening. It can refer to physical enlargement (for example, enlarging a photograph), to increasing capacity or scope (such as expanding a project), or to nurturing/raising someone (such as children). It is common in news reports, manuals, and everyday speech where a process of growth or expansion is ongoing.

Examples:

- Fotoğraf büyütülüyor. (The photograph is being enlarged.)

- Proje için üretim kapasitesi büyütülüyor. (The production capacity for the project is being expanded.)

- Çocuklar büyütülüyor. (The children are being raised.)
