In Turkish grammar, the present continuous is built with the stem + -yor and appropriate person endings.

The meaning is determined by the subject and surrounding context.

Usage notes: oturuyor describes an action in progress or a temporary/state condition. It can refer to someone physically sitting at the moment, or to someone residing in a place. Context or additional words determine the sense of residence versus sitting, for example with place names or time expressions.
