Learn Hardcore Turkish: Değer artıyor.

Değer translates to value or worth. In some contexts, it can also imply price, but generally it refers to the inherent value of something.

What does artıyor mean?

Artıyor comes from the verb artmak, meaning "to increase". The form artıyor is in the present continuous tense, so it translates as "is increasing".

How is the present continuous form artıyor constructed?

To form the present continuous in Turkish, you take the root of the verb (from artmak, remove the -mak) and add the appropriate continuous suffix based on vowel harmony. In this case, adding -ıyor to art- gives you artıyor.

Why doesn't the sentence include an article before değer, while English uses "the"?

Turkish does not have articles like "the" or "a/an". Nouns appear in their bare form, with definiteness determined by context. Thus, değer naturally covers the meaning of "value" or "the value" without an explicit article.

Why is the present continuous tense used here—does it indicate an ongoing process?
