Döküyor

Döküyor is a Turkish verb that translates to "it is pouring" or "it is raining heavily" in English. It is the third-person singular present continuous tense of the verb "dökülmek," which means "to pour" or "to spill." The word is commonly used to describe intense rainfall. For example, "Dışarıda yağmur döküyor" means "It is raining heavily outside."

The verb "döküyor" can also be used metaphorically to describe something being produced or released in large quantities. For instance, a factory might be described as "mal döküyor" if it is producing a lot of goods. Similarly, a person might be described as "gözyaşı döküyor" if they are crying profusely.

The root word "dök-" relates to the act of letting something flow or fall. This can be seen in other Turkish words such as "döküm" (casting or founding) and "döküntü" (debris or scrap). The suffix "-üyor" indicates the present continuous tense, signifying an ongoing action. Therefore, "döküyor" specifically emphasizes the continuous and often forceful nature of the pouring or raining. Its usage is widespread in everyday Turkish conversation and literature.
