uzar

Uzar is a Turkish word that functions as the third-person singular present tense form of the verb uzamak, meaning to become longer or to extend. The form is derived from the root uz- (related to length and distance) and is used to describe something that increases in length or duration. The related adjective uzun means long, and uzar shares its semantic field with that concept.

In usage, uzar can describe the extension of physical length as well as the progression of time or other measures of duration. Common examples include phrases such as Zaman uzar, meaning “time lengthens” or more loosely “time passes.” Another sense can appear in contexts discussing distances or ranges increasing, though Turkish speakers often choose context-appropriate constructions to emphasize duration or extent. As a finite verb form, uzar requires a subject in the sentence and does not stand alone as a noun.

Linguistic notes: uzar illustrates Turkish subject-verb agreement and the use of suffixal person endings. It is a non-past, habitual or general-present form. The root uz- is also found in related verbs such as uzatmak, which carries the sense of extending something physically or making something longer, showing how Turkish verbs with related morphology can express related ideas of length and extension.
