unutur

Unutur is a Turkish verb meaning “to forget” when conjugated in the third-person singular present tense. It is the simple present form of the verb unutmak, which denotes the act of forgetting. In everyday Turkish, the present continuous form o unutuyor (he/she is forgetting) is more commonly used for current action, while o unutur can express a habitual or general tendency to forget.

Grammatically, unutmak belongs to Turkish verbs that add suffixes to a root to indicate tense and aspect. The root is unut- and the present tense suffix -ur yields unut-ur, with the appropriate personal ending giving unut-ur-: unut—ur. The causative form, unutturmak, means “to cause someone to forget,” and its present tense is unutturur. Turkish also forms past and other tenses from these bases, for example unuttu (he/she forgot) and other derived forms from unutturmak for causative meaning.

Usage notes and related forms: unutmak appears in a wide range of contexts related to memory, forgetting, or memory loss. The word is standard in formal and informal Turkish and appears in literature, media, and language-learning materials. Related verbs include unutturmak (to cause someone to forget) and the focused cognitive senses that Turkish expresses through its rich system of aspect and tense marking.

In summary, unutur is the Turkish present-tense form for “he/she forgets,” part of the broader verb unutmak and its derivations.
