Varoluu

Varoluu is a term encountered primarily in Turkish-language discourse related to existence and ontology. Not widely standardized, it's used in some literary and speculative contexts to convey a sense of continued existence or persistent being beyond a single moment.

Etymology and usage: It appears as a morphological variant of var olmak (to exist); some writers employ varoluu as a nominal form to denote the state or process of existing. Its precise sense varies by author, with some treating it as emphasizing endurance, others as a rhetorical flourish.

In philosophy and literary criticism: It is used to discuss ontological persistence, identity over time, and cross-context existence, sometimes in contrast to more static notions of existence, potentiality, or phenomenology.

Reception: Because varoluu lacks a fixed technical definition, it is mostly encountered in contemporary Turkish poetry, essays, and speculative fiction rather than academic ontology. Critics note its vagueness can be both a strength and a limitation.
