ilerler

ilerler is a Turkish verb form meaning "they advance" or "they progress." It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb ilerlemek, which means to advance or to progress. The form is used to describe ongoing development or movement toward a goal in various subjects, such as projects, plans, organizations, or regions.

The usage is common in everyday and formal Turkish. It can stand with an explicit subject, as in "Projeler ilerler" (The projects progress), or appear in contexts where the subject is understood from prior discourse. Like other Turkish present-tense conjugations, ilerler conveys a habitual or current-progress sense rather than a completed action.

Examples include sentences such as "Projeler ilerler" and "Gelişmeler ilerler," which express that progress is continuing. It can also appear in news reports or analyses to indicate ongoing change, such as in discussions of economic or technological development.

Related forms include ilerlemek, the infinitive meaning "to advance" or "to progress," and ilerleme, the noun for "progress" or "advancement." Turkish verbs are highly regular in this area, and ilerler follows the standard present-tense pattern for third-person plural forms.
