Yapmakta

Yapmakta is a Turkish word that functions as a present continuous tense marker. It is formed by combining the verb kök (root) with the suffix "-makta" or "-mekte". This suffix indicates an action that is currently in progress. For example, "gelmek" (to come) becomes "gelmekte" meaning "is coming". Similarly, "yapmak" (to do/make) becomes "yapmakta" meaning "is doing/making". The choice between "-makta" and "-mekte" depends on vowel harmony rules in Turkish, with "-makta" used after back vowels (a, ı, o, u) and "-mekte" after front vowels (e, i, ö, ü).

The "-makta/-mekte" suffix is often used in more formal or literary contexts. In everyday spoken Turkish, the "-iyor/-üyor" suffix is more commonly used to express the present continuous tense. However, "-makta/-mekte" is still encountered, particularly in written communication, news reports, and official announcements. It conveys a sense of ongoing action without necessarily implying immediate completion. The word "yapmakta" specifically refers to the act of doing or making being in progress. It is a grammatical construct rather than a standalone word with a separate meaning.
