buluyorlar

Buluyorlar is the Turkish verb form of bulmak (to find) in the third-person plural present continuous tense. It is used to describe that “they are finding” or, in some contexts, that they find in a more ongoing or immediate sense. In Turkish, the present continuous is formed by adding the progressive suffix -uyor- to the verb stem and then the third-person plural personal ending -lar, resulting in buluyorlar. The form thus encodes both the action and the subject within the verb.

Morphologically, buluyorlar breaks down as bul- (root "bul-") + -uyor- (present continuous marker) + -lar (3rd-person plural ending). Turkish vowel harmony governs the surrounding vowels, but the final appearance remains buluyorlar. The explicit subject onlar (they) is often omitted because the -lar ending already signals a plural third-person subject.

Usage notes include that buluyorlar commonly describes actions that are currently taking place or are expected to be occurring in the near present. It can refer to physical discovery, locating objects, or discovering information, and it can be used metaphorically to mean solving a problem or finding answers. Because Turkish allows subject omission, the sentence often stands without an explicit pronoun.

Negation and related forms: the negative present continuous is bulmuyorlar (they are not finding / they do not find). The simple present form bulurlar expresses habitual or general finding, as in “they find” in a routine sense, rather than ongoing action.

Examples:

- Çocuklar oyuncağı buluyorlar. They are finding the toy.

- Polisler kanıtları buluyorlar. The police are finding the evidence.
