üstleniyorsunuz

üstleniyorsunuz is a Turkish verb form meaning “you are undertaking” or “you are taking on (a task or responsibility).” It is the second-person plural present continuous form of the verb üstlenmek, which means to undertake, to assume responsibility, or to take on a duty.

Morphology and usage: Turkish verbs are built from a stem plus suffixes that encode tense, aspect, and the subject. For üstlenmek, the stem is üstlen-. The present continuous is formed with the auxiliary iyor and the second-person plural personal suffix sunuz, resulting in üstleniyorsunuz. The form can appear with a direct object or a bound phrase, depending on what is being undertaken. Common collocations include görevleri, sorumlulukları, or projeler: for example, “Bu görevi üstleniyorsunuz” (You are taking on this task), “Projeyi üstleniyorsunuz” (You are taking on the project), or “Sorumluluk üstlenmek” (to take on responsibility).

Context and nuance: The expression emphasizes an active and ongoing act of assuming responsibility or burden. It can be used in formal and informal contexts alike, and the subject pronoun siz can be explicit or implied through the verb ending. In Turkish, the same verb form can appear in narrative or instructional settings to address a group or to refer to a formal delegation of responsibility.

Related forms: The infinitive is üstlenmek; related phrases include görev üstlenmek (to undertake a duty) and sorumluluk üstlenmek (to assume responsibility). The word is frequent in workplace, political, and civic language, where taking on roles or obligations is under discussion.
