izle

Izle is a Turkish verb meaning to watch or to view, most commonly encountered in its imperative form İzLe (written with capital İ). It derives from the infinitive izlemek, which means to watch, observe, or follow, with the root iz- plus the infinitive suffix -lemek. The imperative İzle is used to tell someone to watch something, as in İzle bu videoyu (Watch this video).

In Turkish, izlemek covers watching entertainment as well as monitoring or following over time. The imperative form İzle is informal and directed at a single person; the polite or plural form is İzleyin. Other verb forms include izledi (watched), izliyor (is watching), and izlemek (to watch) in the infinitive.

In media and online contexts, izlemek and its imperative İzle frequently appear as call-to-action labels on video players, websites, and apps, where buttons or links prompt users to watch content. Turkish orthography distinguishes the dotted capital İ from the dotless I, so İzle appears with the correct capitalization at the start of a sentence or in uppercase branding.

As a everyday term, İzle is widely recognized by Turkish speakers and audiences of Turkish-language media. It also appears in compound forms and hashtags related to watching content on social media and streaming platforms.
