Oturuyor

Oturuyor is a Turkish verb form. It is the third-person singular present continuous tense of oturmak, a verb with two main senses: to sit (in a physical position) and to reside or live in a place. The form oturuyor can mean “is sitting” or “is living in,” depending on context.

In Turkish grammar, the present continuous is built with the stem + -yor and appropriate person endings. For oturmak, the present continuous forms include oturuyorum (I am sitting), oturuyorsun (you are sitting), oturuyor (he/she/it is sitting or lives), oturuyoruz (we are sitting or living), oturuyorsunuz (you are sitting or living), oturuyorlar (they are sitting or living). The meaning is determined by the subject and surrounding context.

Usage notes: oturuyor describes an action in progress or a temporary/state condition. It can refer to someone physically sitting at the moment, or to someone residing in a place. Context or additional words determine the sense of residence versus sitting, for example with place names or time expressions.
