Questions & Answers about Süreç devam ediyor.
What does Süreç mean in English?
Süreç translates to process. It refers to a series of actions or a procedure.
How is the verb devam ediyor structured and what does it mean?
Devam ediyor comes from the verb devam etmek, which means to continue. The suffix -iyor indicates the present continuous tense, so the phrase means is continuing or is ongoing. The form automatically implies a third person singular subject without needing a separate pronoun.
Why is there no explicit verb like "is" in Süreç devam ediyor?
In Turkish, the copula (the equivalent of "is" in English) is built into the verb conjugation. The -iyor suffix in devam ediyor conveys the present continuous meaning without an extra word for "is".
Can the same structure be used with other subjects in Turkish, and how does the verb form change?
Yes, the structure is common in Turkish. The subject is often omitted because the verb ending specifies who is performing the action. For example, with a first person singular subject, you might say "Ben devam ediyorum" (I am continuing) where -yorum replaces -yor to reflect the change in subject.
