yanyorsunuz

Yanyorsunuz is not a recognized form of a Turkish verb in standard usage. In Turkish, there is no dictionary entry for “yanyorsunuz” as a canonical inflected form. In most contexts, it is regarded as a misspelling or typographical error for other present-continuous forms such as yanıyorsunuz (you are burning) or yakıyorsunuz (you are burning something).

Linguistic notes

Turkish verbs form the present continuous with the stem plus the suffixes -yor- and the second-person plural ending -sunuz/-sünüz, among other personal endings. For the verb yanmak (to burn, intransitive), the correct second-person plural present continuous is yanıyorsunuz. For burn-something, as in "to burn (with fire) something," the related form is yakıyorsunuz. Because yanyorsunuz does not conform to Turkish phonology or standard morphology, it does not appear in reputable dictionaries or grammars.

Usage and corrections

In formal or edited Turkish, yanyorsunuz should be corrected to yanıyorsunuz or yakıyorsunuz, depending on the intended meaning. For example:

- Correct: Siz yanıyorsunuz. (You are burning / you are on fire.)

- Correct: Siz yakıyorsunuz. (You are burning something.)

If yanyorsunuz appears in a text, it is typically a spelling mistake, a typographical error, or a deliberate stylistic choice in nonstandard writing.
