koymuyor

Koymuyor is a Turkish verb form meaning “he/she/it does not put” or “is not putting.” It is the third-person singular present negative form of koymak, the verb that means to put or to place. The subject is usually implicit, but an explicit subject can be included for clarity.

Formation and grammar: The form is built from the stem koy- with the negation suffix -mıyor, which marks present negation. This yields the third-person singular negative present tense meaning. Other persons have their respective forms, such as koymuyorum (I do not put), koymuyoruz (we do not put), and koymuyorlar (they do not put).

Usage: Koymuyor is used in declarative sentences to indicate that someone or something does not place an object in a given location. It can appear in both formal and informal Turkish and is compatible with common object and directional phrases.

Examples:

- O, kitapları rafta koymuyor. (He/She is not putting the books on the shelf.)

- Çantayı kapıya koymuyor. (He/She is not putting the bag at the door.)

- Öğrenci masaya defteri koymuyor. (The student is not putting the notebook on the desk.)
