Izliyorum

Izliyorum is a Turkish verb form that translates to "I am watching" in English. It is the first-person singular present continuous form of the verb izlemek, which means to watch, view, or observe. The present continuous is built from the stem izle- plus the suffix -iyor, with the personal ending -um, producing izliyorum. Other present continuous forms include izliyorsun (you are watching), izliyor (he/she is watching), izliyoruz (we are watching), izliyorsunuz (you are watching), and izliyorlar (they are watching).

Usage and meaning. Izliyorum is used to describe an action that is ongoing in the present, typically watching something such as a film, a television program, or a live event. The verb izlemek can also carry senses of following or monitoring, so izliyorum can be used in contexts like "I am following the developments" when translated more broadly as "I am monitoring" or "I am keeping an eye on." In Turkish, context often clarifies whether the sense is viewing visually or monitoring information.

Examples.

- Şu anda filmi izliyorum. (I am watching the movie right now.)

- Güvenlik kameralarını izliyorum. (I am monitoring the security cameras.)

- Yeni bölümü izliyorum. (I am watching the new episode.)
