Dolduruluyor

Dolduruluyor is a Turkish verb form that expresses the passive present continuous and translates roughly as “is being filled.” It is used when the object of an action is what receives the filling, rather than the doer of the action. The base verb is doldurmak, meaning “to fill.”

Formation and grammar: Dolduruluyor is built from the verb stem doldur- plus the passive marker -ul- and the present continuous suffix -uyor, with Turkish vowel harmony applied. The resulting form, dolduruluyor, denotes a happening that is ongoing and performed on the subject (the thing being filled). In Turkish, the agent of a passive clause can be omitted, but when stated it typically uses the phrase tarafından, as in kutu dolduruluyor by someone or something.

Usage and examples: The form is commonly used for containers or forms undergoing filling. Examples include: “Kutu dolduruluyor.” (The box is being filled.) “Form dolduruluyor.” (The form is being filled out.) It can refer to physical filling of contents or to providing information on a form. The passive contrasts with the active form dolduruyor, which would mean “(someone) is filling (it)” with the subject performing the action, e.g., “Çalışanlar formu dolduruyor.” The agent, if mentioned, appears with a phrase like tarafından.

Notes: Dolduruluyor is modal in sense only of the action’s ongoing nature and the object’s reception of the action. Its use is common in everyday Turkish to describe processes in progress, whether in logistics, administration, or everyday tasks.
