buluyorum

Buluyorum is a Turkish verb form meaning “I am finding” or “I find.” It is the first-person singular present continuous (present progressive) form of the verb bulmak, which means to find or to locate. In Turkish, the present continuous expresses an action that is ongoing or currently underway.

Grammatically, buluyorum is built from the verb bulmak, along with the present continuous suffix -yor and the first-person singular personal ending -um. Turkish verbs are highly regular in this pattern, and the subject pronoun is often omitted because the verb ending already encodes the person and number. Related forms include buluyor (he/she finds), buluyoruz (we find), and buluyorsun (you find).

Usage in Turkish typically conveys an active search or discovery taking place at the moment of speaking. It can also be used more broadly to indicate a current process of finding or solving. For example, Şu anda anahtarları buluyorum means “I am finding the keys right now,” while Bir çözüm buluyorum means “I am finding a solution.” Context will often determine whether the action is truly ongoing or more generally described as a present activity.
