sürecek

Sürecek is a Turkish verb form and is commonly analyzed as the third-person singular future tense of the verb sürmek. The base verb sürmek has several related meanings, including to drive or operate a vehicle, to smear or apply a substance, and to last or endure in a given period. The form sürecek signals that the action will take place in the future.

In Turkish grammar, sürecek is created by adding the future suffix -ecek to the stem sür- of the infinitive sürmek. Because Turkish vowel harmony affects affixes, the resulting form is written as sürecek. The word is used with a subject (explicit or understood) in the third person, such as o (he/she/it) or a noun phrase representing the subject.

Usage and examples illustrate its versatility in everyday language. O arabayı sürecek. (He will drive the car.) Kre mi cildine sürecek. (She/He will apply the cream to his/her skin.) Bu iş ne kadar sürecek? (How long will this work take?) These examples reflect the core function of sürecek: to indicate a future action linked to the verb sürmek.
