Questions & Answers about Düğünde herkes gülüyor.

What does Düğünde mean, and how is it formed?

Düğünde is composed of düğün (meaning "wedding") with the locative suffix -de attached. The suffix indicates location, so düğünde translates to "at the wedding". Vowel harmony determines that -de is used rather than -da.

What tense and aspect is the verb gülüyor in, and how is it constructed?

Gülüyor is in the present continuous tense. The -yor suffix marks an ongoing action. Despite referring to a situation involving multiple people, Turkish uses the third-person singular conjugation (here, gülüyor) consistently for both singular and plural subjects in the third person.

Why does the verb gülüyor stay in the third-person singular form even though herkes implies multiple people?

In Turkish, the third-person singular form is standard regardless of whether the subject is singular or plural. So although herkes means "everyone" (a plural idea), the verb gülüyor remains in the third-person singular form.
