yürüyor

Yürüyor is a Turkish verb derived from the root "yürümek," meaning "to walk." The "-yor" suffix indicates the present continuous tense, signifying an action that is currently happening. Therefore, "yürüyor" translates directly to "is walking" or "he/she/it is walking."

In Turkish grammar, the present continuous tense is used to describe ongoing actions, habits, or states. "Yürüyor" is a versatile verb that can be applied to humans, animals, or even objects that are in motion. For instance, one might say "Çocuk parkta yürüyor" (The child is walking in the park) or "Kedi bahçede yürüyor" (The cat is walking in the garden).

The verb form "yürüyor" is the third-person singular present continuous. When referring to other subjects, the verb conjugation changes. For example, "Ben yürüyorum" means "I am walking," and "Onlar yürüyorlar" means "They are walking." The "-lar" suffix in the latter case is the plural marker for the third person.

The concept of "walking" is fundamental to movement and is represented by "yürüyor" in its ongoing form. It conveys a sense of progression and continuous activity. The simplicity of the conjugation makes it one of the most frequently used verb forms in everyday Turkish conversation.
