Engelliyor

Engelliyor is a Turkish verb form that means is hindering or is blocking. It is the present continuous tense in the third-person singular, derived from the noun engel (obstacle) and the verbs that convey hindering or blocking, such as engellemek. The form is used to describe an ongoing action that prevents progress, access, or movement.

Usage can cover both physical obstruction and abstract hindrance. It typically appears with a subject that causes the hindrance and with an object that indicates what is being hindered. Examples include: “Bu uygulama kullanıcı akışını engelliyor” (This application is hindering user flow) and “Yasal düzenlemeler inovasyonun ilerlemesini engelliyor” (Legal regulations are hindering the progress of innovation). The phrase can also appear in questions or negative statements: “Bu durum engelliyor mu?” and “Bu durum engellemiyor” meaning it is not hindering.

Grammatically, engelliyor is the third-person singular form in the present continuous of the verb engellemek (to hinder or block). Other subject forms exist, such as engelliyorum (I hinder), engelliyorsun (you hinder), engelliyoruz (we hinder), engelliyorsunuz (you all hinder), and engelliler (they hinder).

Common synonyms include engellemek and mani olmak, while related antonyms describe facilitation or removal, such as kolaylaştırmak or önlemek, depending on context. The term is widely used in everyday language as well as formal or technical discourse to describe impediments in processes, policies, systems, or physical situations.
