bekliyoruz

Bekliyoruz is a Turkish verb form that translates roughly to “we are waiting” or “we wait.” It is the first-person plural present continuous form of beklemek, the verb meaning to wait, to expect, or to anticipate. In Turkish, this form can express ongoing action and, depending on context, near-future expectation.

Morphology and usage: Bekliyoruz is formed from the verb stem bekle- combined with the present continuous marker -iyor and the personal ending -uz for the first person plural. Turkish uses agglutinative suffixes to encode aspect, tense, and person, so bekliyoruz literally reflects ongoing waiting by the speakers.

The sense of bekliyoruz can vary with context. It most commonly means that the speakers are currently waiting for something or someone, such as a person or information. In some contexts, it can also convey a sense of expectation about an upcoming event or result, similar to “we are waiting for X” or “we expect X.”

Examples:

- Şu anda bekliyoruz. (We are waiting right now.)

- Haberleri bekliyoruz. (We are waiting for the news.)

- Cevabı bekliyoruz. (We are waiting for the answer.)

- Bir dakika daha bekliyoruz. (We are waiting for one more minute.)

Origin and note: Bekliyoruz derives from beklemek, a native Turkish verb. It is widely used in everyday Turkish in spoken and written forms and remains a common expression for marking ongoing waiting or anticipation.
