uyorsunuz

Uyuyorsunuz is a Turkish verb form meaning “you are sleeping.” It represents the present continuous tense (the progressive aspect) combined with the second person plural or formal second person suffix. The form is built from the verb root uyu- (to sleep) with the progressive marker -yor and the personal suffix -sunuz, which signals the subject as you (plural) or a polite you. In Turkish, subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending conveys person and number.

Usage and meaning: Uyuyorsunuz is used to describe an action happening right now when addressing more than one person or a formal address. It can appear in everyday conversation, storytelling, or instructional contexts to indicate an ongoing activity. The same verb stem can be adapted for other tenses and moods with different suffixes, but uyuyorsunuz specifically marks present progressive with you plural.

Form and questions: Negative and interrogative forms are created by adding the appropriate particles or negation before the verb. For example, Şu anda siz uyuyorsunuz. means “You are sleeping right now.” A related question form is Uyuyorsunuz mu? or Şu anda uyumuyor musunuz? meaning “Aren’t you sleeping right now?”

Notes: Turkish relies on verb endings to express person and tense, so explicit pronouns are often omitted when the subject is clear from context. Uyuyorsunuz is one of several present-continuous forms derived from the root uyu- with the same person suffix pattern for other subjects through analogous endings.
