yükselir

Yükselir is a Turkish verb form meaning to rise or ascend. It is the third-person singular present tense form of the stem yüksel-, which comes from the verb yükselmek (to rise, to ascend). As a present-tense form, yükselir is used to describe something that rises or increases in the current moment or as a general statement about a rising trend.

Etymology and grammar: yüksel- is the verb stem, and the suffix -ir marks the simple present tense for third person singular. The root can appear in other tenses and moods with different suffixes, producing forms such as yükselir, yükseliriz, yükselirler in the present tense; yükseldi (past tense); yükseliyor (progressive aspect). Related nouns include yükselme (rising or ascent) and yükseliş (an ascent or rise), which share the same semantic field.

Usage: The verb is intransitive and can describe physical ascent as well as figurative increases, such as prices, levels, or temperatures. It is commonly used in news, economics, and everyday speech to indicate upward movement. For example, "Hava sıcaklığı bugün yükselir" means the temperature rises today, while "Borsa yükselir" describes the stock market increasing.

Related terms: Yükselmek (to rise), yükselme (rising, ascent), yükseliş (rise, uptrend). In Turkish, context determines whether yükselir refers to a concrete ascent or an abstract increase, and it aligns with other verb forms to express time, aspect, and speaker perspective.
