oluyoruz

oluyoruz is the first-person plural present continuous form of the Turkish verb olmak, meaning "to be" or "to become." It is formed from the verb stem ol-, the present progressive suffix -yor-, and the personal ending -uz for "biz" (we). As such, it expresses ongoing action or a change of state involving the subject.

Usage: The present continuous with olmak primarily conveys a process of becoming or a happening tendency rather than a static state. In practice, it can indicate that a group is in the process of developing into a new state, e.g., Güçlü bir takım oluyoruz (We are becoming a strong team). It can also describe ongoing changes within a group or organization during a period, e.g., Bu süreçte daha uyumlu oluyoruz (We are becoming more harmonious during this process).

Grammar notes: It is one of several present continuous forms built from -yor-. For olmak, related forms include oluyorum (I am becoming), oluyorsun (you are becoming), oluyoruz (we are becoming), oluyorsunuz (you all are becoming), oluyorlar (they are becoming). The word is not a noun; its meaning depends on context and other elements in the sentence. Etymology traces back to the Turkish root ol- with standard affixation.
