Yürür

Yürür is a Turkish verb meaning to walk, rooted in the infinitive yürümek. It specifically represents the third-person singular present simple form of yürümek, used to say that someone or something walks. In context, yürür can function with an explicit subject or rely on the surrounding sentence to indicate who is walking.

In Turkish, present tense forms are created by attaching person and number suffixes to the verb stem. For yürümek, the present simple forms include yürürüm (I walk), yürürsün (you walk), yürür (he/she/it walks), yürürüz (we walk), yürürsünüz (you walk), and yürürler (they walk). The form yürüyor is the present continuous, used for actions happening right now, while yürür is used for general statements or habitual actions.

Usage notes: The present simple often conveys habitual actions or universal truths in Turkish. O yürür can mean “He walks” in a general sense, and the subject is often understood from context without an explicit pronoun. Turkish does not require a separate verb for the future in many contexts; future meaning is usually expressed with suffixes on the verb or through time-indicating words, but yürür itself is strictly present tense.

Derivatives and related terms include the base verb yürümek (to walk), yürüyüş (a walk or march), and yürüyen (walking, the one who walks). The stem yür- supports related forms such as yürüyerek (by walking) and other participles or adjectives describing walking-related actions.

Etymology links the word to the Turkish root yürü-, tied to movement on foot, with the present tense form yürür serving as a common, everyday usage for describing walking in the third person.
