içiyoruz

"içiyoruz" is the first-person plural present continuous tense of the Turkish verb "içmek," which means "to drink." Therefore, "içiyoruz" translates directly to "we are drinking." This verb form is used to describe the action of drinking that is happening at the present moment and involves the speaker and at least one other person. It can be used in a variety of contexts, from the simple act of consuming a beverage to more metaphorical uses, although the literal meaning is the most common. For example, one might say "Su içiyoruz" (We are drinking water) or "Rakı içiyoruz" (We are drinking rakı). The grammatical structure indicates an ongoing action performed by a group of which the speaker is a part. The present continuous tense in Turkish is formed by adding the suffix "-iyor" or its variants to the verb stem. In the case of "içmek," the stem is "iç-" and the first-person plural suffix is "-iyoruz," resulting in "içiyoruz."
