güveniyorum

Güveniyorum is a Turkish verb form meaning “I am trusting” or “I trust.” It is the first-person singular present continuous form of the verb güvenmek, which means to trust, have confidence in, or rely on someone or something. The expression conveys a current state of trust and can refer to people, situations, or future outcomes depending on the context.

Morphology and usage: Güvenmek is derived from the noun güven (trust, confidence) with the infinitive suffix -mek. The present tense is formed with the personal suffix -iyorum, yielding güveniyorum.

In sentences, the object is typically expressed directly, as in sana güveniyorum (I trust you) or ona güveniyorum (I trust him/her).

Common contexts: Güveniyorum is used in everyday speech to express belief in someone’s abilities, reliability, or in the likelihood of a favorable outcome. It can refer to people, plans, institutions, or future events, and may be followed by phrases such as inşaallah or geleceğe (toward the future) to emphasize hope and confidence.
