Koyuyor

Koyuyor is the third-person singular present form of the Turkish verb koymak, which means to put, place, or lay. It is used to describe the act of putting something somewhere, often indicating an ongoing action in the present.

Morphology and usage: The verb stem is koy-, and the suffix -uyor marks the present continuous (also used for simple present in Turkish). The subject is usually explicit or understood from context, and the object receives the action. Turkish, with vowel harmony, yields koyuyor as the standard form for third-person singular.

Common meanings extend beyond physical placement to include setting up or arranging things. For example, "O defterini masaya koyuyor" means "He is putting his notebook on the table." "Kedinin önüne süt koyuyorlar" can be translated as "They are putting milk in front of the cat," which expresses placement of an item for an animal. In figurative uses, koymak can appear in phrases that describe initiating or making arrangements, though more common verbs may be used for abstract meanings.

Related forms and alternatives: The verb appears in other tenses and forms, such as koydu (past), koyacak (future), and koymuyor (negative present). There are synonyms and closely related verbs like yerleştirmek (to place in a position) and bırakmak (to put down, leave), which can convey different nuances.
