ediyorsun

Ediyorsun is the second-person singular present continuous form of the Turkish verb etmek (to do, to make). It indicates ongoing action by the subject you (sen). In Turkish, the present continuous is built with the suffix -iyor attached to the verb stem and the personal ending -sun for the second person singular, yielding ediyorsun from et- + -iyor + -sun. The verb etmek is often used as a light or auxiliary verb in compound verbs, so ediyorsun frequently appears in phrases where a noun or verb stem combines with etmek to express an action.

Usage and forms:

- Affirmative: ediyorsun (you are doing). Example: O na yardım ediyorsun. In proper Turkish this is typically "Ona yardım ediyorsun" meaning you are helping her/him.

- Negative: etmiyorsun (you are not doing).

- Interrogative: Ediyor musun? (Are you doing [this]?)

Common contexts:

- Two-word verb constructions: yardımı etmek → yardım ediyorsun (you are helping), söz etmek → bu konudan söz ediyorsun (you are mentioning this topic). In these cases, et- serves as the main verb, with ediyorsun marking the person and tense.

- While many speakers prefer using yapmak for “to do” in everyday speech, etmek remains frequent in idiomatic expressions and fixed verbal phrases, where ediyorsun is the natural finite form.

Etymology and note:

- Etmek is a high-frequency Turkic verb that supports numerous idioms and compound verbs. Ediyorsun is a common tense-form in which the -iyor present continuous ending combines with the second-person singular suffix -sun, producing a form that is widely used across two-word verbs and other constructions.
