gidiyorum

gidiyorum is a Turkish verb form meaning “I am going.” It is the first-person singular present continuous form of the verb gitmek, which means “to go.” The form is built from the stem gid- with the present continuous suffix -iyor and the first-person ending -um, yielding gidiyorum. In Turkish, the present continuous marker -iyor combines with the personal ending to express ongoing action in the present, and vowel harmony governs the surrounding morphology.

The subject pronoun ben is usually not stated explicitly because the verb ending already marks the person. gidiyorum is used to describe actions happening now, as in Şu anda gidiyorum (I am going right now). It can also convey near-future intent in informal speech, but for definite future actions Turkish typically uses gideceğim (I will go) or another future construction.

Usage notes: gidiyorum appears most often within longer sentences or with time expressions such as şimdi (now) or şu anda (at the moment) to emphasize immediacy. It is not commonly used as a standalone command; instead it asserts ongoing movement or intention to go.

Examples:

- Şu anda gidiyorum. (I am going right now.)

- Havaalanına gidiyorum. (I am going to the airport.)

- Ben gidiyorum. (I am going.)
