In Turkish grammar, the progressive aspect is expressed by using the verb “olmak” in its present continuous form, followed by the main verb in its stem form, and finally adding the personal suffix to match the subject. The progressive aspect is used to indicate an ongoing action or state at the present moment.

For example, to say “I am speaking,” we use the verb “konuşmak” (to speak) and add the present continuous form of “olmak” (to be) before it. So, it becomes “konuşuyorum.” Similarly, for “you are eating,” we use the verb “yemek” (to eat) and say “yiyorsun.”

The progressive aspect is used to emphasize the ongoing nature of an action or state. It can also be used to describe future plans or actions in a more informal way.

However, it’s important to note that the progressive aspect is not as frequently used in Turkish as it is in English. So, it’s necessary for Turkish learners to understand when and how to use it appropriately.
