gösterir

Gösterir is a Turkish verb form meaning “shows” or “demonstrates.” It is the third person singular present simple (present indicative) form of göstermek, the verb that means to show, display, or demonstrate. The infinitive is göstermek; other present-tense forms include gösterir, gösteririz, gösterirsiniz, gösterirler, as well as compound forms such as gösteriyorum (I show) and gösteriyorum (I am showing).

Usage and meaning: Gösterir is used to attribute the act of showing or demonstrating to a singular third-person subject. It can refer to presenting an object to someone, presenting evidence, or indicating a conclusion in reasoning. In formal or written Turkish, the expression gösterir ki is used to mean “shows that” or “indicates that,” introducing a clause that presents a conclusion or inference. Example: O, bana resmi gösterir. (He shows me the picture.) Bu veriler, hipotezi gösterir ki sonuç pozitiftir. (These data show that the hypothesis is positive.)

Relationship to other forms: Gösterir stems from the root göster- and combines with person and tense affixes in Turkish. The language marks tense and person through suffixes; the base form begele a wide range of derived forms, including gösterdi (he showed), göstermek (to show), and gösterim (display or demonstration).

Related terms: Göstermek (to show), gösterge (indicator or display), gösterim (display or demonstration). Usage often depends on context, with gösterir functioning as the simple present form for a singular subject and other forms aligning with different subjects and tenses.
