Questions & Answers about Ben raporu sisteme yüklüyorum.
Turkish marks a definite/specific direct object with the accusative suffix -(y)I. Since "the report" is specific, rapor becomes raporu. The last vowel of rapor is o, so vowel harmony picks -u.
- Indefinite object: sisteme rapor yüklüyorum or sisteme bir rapor yüklüyorum ("I am uploading a report").
- Definite object: raporu sisteme yüklüyorum ("I am uploading the report").
-e/-a is the dative case, marking direction/goal ("to/into/onto"). sistem + -e → sisteme because the last vowel is front unrounded, so choose -e. Compare:
- sistemde (locative, -de/-da): "in/on the system"
- sistemden (ablative, -den/-dan): "from the system"
Breakdown: yükle- + -(I)yor + -um → yüklüyor + um → yüklüyorum.
- The present continuous is -(I)yor.
- When the stem ends in a vowel (here -e), you add -yor and the preceding vowel raises; with rounded harmony in verbs like yüklemek/söylemek, that raised vowel becomes ü: yükle-yor → yüklüyor.
- Personal ending for 1st singular is -um, chosen by harmony with the last vowel before it (the o in -yor), giving yüklüyorum. Note: yükliyorum is incorrect.
Yes, Turkish is flexible, but the neutral order is S–O–V:
- Neutral: (Ben) raporu sisteme yüklüyorum.
- Focus on destination: Sisteme raporu yüklüyorum.
- Strong focus on the subject: Raporu sisteme ben yüklüyorum. The finite verb typically stays at the end.
Use the accusative pronoun before the verb: Onu sisteme yüklüyorum.
If the thing is near/visible and demonstrative, you can say Bunu sisteme yüklüyorum.
- Negative: insert -me/-ma right before -yor → (Ben) raporu sisteme yüklemiyorum.
- Yes/no question: add the clitic mi (harmonized) as a separate word after the verb complex, then add the personal ending to it → Raporu sisteme yüklüyor muyum?
Here it’s mu because the last vowel of yüklüyor is o; plus 1sg → muyum.
Yüklerim is the aorist (habitual/generic): "I upload (as a rule/whenever needed)".
Yüklüyorum is the present continuous (right now/ongoing or scheduled near-future).
Examples:
- Genelde sabahları raporları yüklerim.
- Şu an raporu sisteme yüklüyorum.
Yes. Yüklemek can mean:
- to upload/load (files, data)
- to install (software; also kurmak is common)
- to charge/load (a card, balance) Context clarifies. For "download," use indirmek.
On its own, raporu can be 3rd-person possessive in the nominative ("his/her report") or accusative of rapor ("the report"). In this sentence it is accusative.
If you mean "his/her report" as the object, you say raporunu (possessive + accusative): Onun raporunu sisteme yüklüyorum.
