Duyarlar

Duyarlar is a Turkish verb form meaning they perceive, they sense, or they hear. It is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb duymak, which covers both literal hearing and noticing or becoming aware of something. The form is used when the subject is plural and the action is occurring in the present.

In usage, duyarlar can refer to physical hearing, such as sounds in the environment, as well as to figurative perception, such as noticing changes, detecting signs, or becoming aware of information. It often appears in narrative or descriptive contexts to indicate that a group of people is perceiving something at that moment. Example: Çevredeki sesleri duyarlar.

Duyarlar should not be confused with the noun duyarlar/duyular, which does not function as a standalone noun in standard Turkish. The related noun duyarlar is not common; the standard noun for senses is duyu or duyu organları (duyular being the plural of duyu in some contexts). The more typical plural noun for senses is duyular, not duyarlar. Duyarlar is therefore primarily a verb form rather than a noun.

Related concepts in Turkish include the root duy-, which appears in other verbs and derivatives such as duymak (to hear or perceive), duyarlı (sensitive), and duygu (emotion). The word reflects the broader Turkish vocabulary around perception, cognition, and awareness, and its tense and aspect can be modified to fit different temporal contexts as with other verbs in the language.
