kaybederler

Kaybederler is a Turkish verb form derived from kaybetmek, meaning to lose. It represents the geniş zaman, the simple present, for a third-person plural subject, and is used to describe habitual or general actions: they lose (things). The form is built from the stem kaybet- with the present tense suffix -er and the plural subject suffix -ler, yielding kaybederler for “they lose.”

In Turkish, this construction conveys a regular or typical action rather than a single, completed event. It can refer to losing various items depending on context, and is commonly found in statements about routines, tendencies, or repeated scenarios. For example, Onlar sık sık anahtarlarını kaybederler. translates to They frequently lose their keys. Another example: Takım maç boyunca topları kaybederler. means The team loses the balls (during the match) or The team tends to lose possession during the match.

Related forms include kaybeder (he/she/it loses) in the singular present tense, and kaybedecekler (they will lose) for the future with a different aspect. Turkish verbs rely on root-plus-suffix morphology, so substitutions of stems or objects can create a range of meanings with the same basic form.

Overall, kaybederler functions as a normal part of Turkish grammar, illustrating how the language expresses habitual actions through the is-it-habitual present tense combined with plural subject emphasis.
