yüzüyorsun

Yüzüyorsun is a Turkish verb meaning "you are swimming". It is the second-person singular present continuous tense of the verb yüzmek, which means "to swim". This form indicates an ongoing action performed by the person being addressed. For example, "Sen yüzüyorsun" translates to "You are swimming". The present continuous tense in Turkish is formed by adding the suffix -yor to the verb stem, followed by the appropriate personal suffix. In this case, the stem is "yüz-", the present continuous suffix is "-yor", and the second-person singular suffix is "-sun". Therefore, "yüz-yor-sun" becomes "yüzüyorsun". The verb can be used in various contexts, such as describing someone physically swimming in water or metaphorically referring to someone being deeply involved in something, like "You are swimming in work." Understanding this verb is fundamental for basic communication in Turkish, particularly when describing present, ongoing activities.
