biliriz

Biliriz is a Turkish verb form meaning "we know." It is the first-person plural present tense of the verb bilmek, which means "to know" or "to be aware of." In Turkish, verbs are inflected for person and number, and the suffix that marks the subject can be attached directly to the verb stem. In this case, the stem bil- combined with the present-tense and first-person plural suffix produces biliriz.

Usage and meaning: Biliriz is used to state knowledge about a fact or information, and it can also convey a sense of certainty about something in the present or near future, depending on context. Turkish often relies on the present tense to talk about both present states and future events, so biliriz can appear in sentences describing what a speaker or group knows now or expects to know soon.

Examples:

- Bu bilgiyi biliriz. (We know this information.)

- Kimin sorumlu olduğunu biliriz. (We know who is responsible.)

Syntax and nuances: As with other Turkish verb forms, biliriz can appear with various objects or clauses to specify what is known. Because subject pronouns are often omitted in Turkish, biliriz can stand alone or be embedded in a larger sentence. The form is common in everyday speech, journalism, and written Turkish.
