Questions & Answers about Fiyat uygun görünüyor.

What does Fiyat mean, and why isn’t there an article like the or a?

Fiyat means price. Turkish does not use indefinite or definite articles (there is no equivalent of a or the), so fiyat stands alone without any article.

Why doesn’t fiyat carry a case ending (like -ı, -de, etc.) in this sentence?

Because fiyat is the subject of the intransitive verb görünmek (“to appear/seem”). Subjects of intransitive verbs stay in the nominative case (no suffix).

How is görünüyor formed, and what nuance does it add?

Görünüyor is the 3rd-person-singular present continuous form of görünmek (“to appear/seem”). Breakdown:
• görün- (root “appear”)
• -üyor (present continuous suffix with vowel harmony)
Together, görünüyor literally means “(it) is appearing” but idiomatically “it appears” or “it seems.” Using görünüyor softens the statement: you’re reporting an impression rather than stating a fact.

Why is uygun left without any endings between fiyat and görünüyor?

Uygun is an adjective meaning suitable or affordable. When an adjective functions as a predicate (describing the subject before the verb), it remains in its base form without additional suffixes. The verb görünmek carries the tense/person information.

How would you make this sentence negative?

Insert the negative suffix -ma- before -yor in görünüyor:
Fiyat uygun görünmüyor.
This means “The price doesn’t seem suitable.”

How can you express this idea in the past or future tense?

• Past (imperfect): replace -ıyor with -ıyordu → Fiyat uygun görünüyordu. (“The price was seeming suitable/It seemed suitable.”)
• Past (simple): drop -yor and add -dü → Fiyat uygun göründü. (“The price seemed suitable.”)
• Future: replace -ıyor with -ecek → Fiyat uygun görünecek. (“The price will seem suitable.”)

Can you drop görünüyor and just say Fiyat uygun? What’s the difference?

Yes.
• Fiyat uygun. = “The price is suitable/affordable.” (a straightforward statement)
• Fiyat uygun görünüyor. = “It appears that the price is suitable.” (more tentative, you’re sharing your impression)

Are there synonyms for görünüyor in this context?

Yes. A common colloquial synonym is gözüküyor, from gözükmek (“to appear/seem”):
Fiyat uygun gözüküyor.
Both mean “it appears/seems suitable.”
