Bu çizim gerçekten çok etkileyici görünüyor.

A word-by-word breakdown is:

• Bu = this
• çizim = drawing
• gerçekten = really / truly
• çok = very
• etkileyici = impressive
• görünüyor = looks / seems / appears

So the sentence is literally something like:

This drawing really very impressive looks.

Natural English: This drawing looks really very impressive or more naturally This drawing looks really impressive.

In this sentence, Turkish does not need a separate word for is because the main verb is görünüyor, which means looks / appears / seems.

So the sentence is not saying:

• This drawing is very impressive

It is saying:

• This drawing looks very impressive

If you wanted is, you would use a different structure, for example:

• Bu çizim çok etkileyici. = This drawing is very impressive.

Here, görünüyor adds the idea of appearance or impression.

Turkish usually puts the main verb at the end of the sentence. This is one of the most important differences from English.

English:

• This drawing looks really impressive.

Turkish:

• Bu çizim gerçekten çok etkileyici görünüyor.

A very common Turkish pattern is:

subject + description + verb

So here:

• Bu çizim = subject
• gerçekten çok etkileyici = description
• görünüyor = verb at the end

Bu means this. It is a demonstrative, used to point to something near the speaker or already being discussed.

So:

• bu çizim = this drawing

Unlike English, Turkish does not use a/an/the in the same way. So bu is not just an article; it specifically means this.

Compare:

• çizim = a drawing / the drawing / drawing depending on context
• bu çizim = this drawing

Çizim means drawing or illustration, especially something drawn.

It comes from the verb çizmek, meaning to draw.

• çizmek = to draw
• çizim = drawing

It is not always exactly the same as resim.

• çizim often emphasizes a drawing, sketch, or drafted image
• resim is broader and can mean picture, painting, or image

So in many contexts they can overlap, but çizim is more specifically drawing.

Gerçekten means really, truly, or genuinely.

In this sentence, it strengthens the statement:

• Bu çizim çok etkileyici görünüyor. = This drawing looks very impressive.
• Bu çizim gerçekten çok etkileyici görünüyor. = This drawing looks really very impressive.

It is not grammatically necessary, but it adds emphasis.

Çok usually means very when it comes before an adjective or adverb.

Here:

• etkileyici = impressive
• çok etkileyici = very impressive

This works much like English:

• very impressive

Be careful: çok can also mean much / many / a lot, depending on context.

Examples:

• çok güzel = very beautiful
• çok kitap = many books
• çok seviyorum = I love it a lot / very much

Etkileyici comes from the verb etkilemek, which means to affect or to impress.

The rough idea is:

• etkilemek = to affect / impress
• etkileyici = affecting / impressive / striking

The suffix -yici / -ici / -ıcı / -ucu / -ücü can form words meaning something like that does X or having the quality of X.

So etkileyici is an adjective meaning impressive, literally something like having an impressing effect.

The two sentences are similar, but not identical.

• Bu çizim çok etkileyici. = This drawing is very impressive.
• Bu çizim çok etkileyici görünüyor. = This drawing looks very impressive.

The version with görünüyor is slightly softer or more observational. It describes how something appears to the speaker.

So görünüyor adds the idea of:

• it seems
• it looks
• it appears

This is useful when you are commenting on appearance rather than making a direct absolute statement.

Görünüyor is in the present continuous form, built with -yor.

The verb is görünmek = to appear / to look / to be visible.

In this sentence:

• görün- = verb stem
• -üyor / -yor = present continuous marker
• implied he/she/it subject = it looks / it appears

So görünüyor means:

• is looking
• looks
• is appearing
• appears

In natural English, looks is the best translation here.

This happens because of how Turkish builds the -yor present continuous form.

The dictionary form is görünmek. The stem is görün-. When -yor is added, a linking vowel appears according to vowel harmony and the shape of the stem.

So:

• görün- + -yor becomes görünüyor

You do not need to memorize every step mechanically at first; it is often easiest to learn the full form as you see it. Over time, you will notice similar patterns in many verbs.

Some helpful pronunciation points:

• ç is like ch in church
• ö is like the German ö or the vowel in French peu; there is no exact English equivalent
• ü is like the German ü or French u; again, no exact English equivalent
• c in Turkish is like English j in jam
• ı would be a special Turkish vowel, but it does not appear in this sentence

Approximate pronunciations:

• çizim ≈ CHEE-zim
• etkileyici ≈ et-ki-le-YEE-jee
• görünüyor ≈ guh-ruh-NOO-yor with rounded front vowels on ö and ü

Also, Turkish spelling is quite regular, so once you learn the sounds, pronunciation becomes much easier than in English.

Yes, it is very natural.

• etkileyici is a common adjective for things that are impressive, striking, or powerful
• çok etkileyici = very impressive
• gerçekten çok etkileyici = really very impressive

You could use it for:

• a drawing
• a speech
• a performance
• a building
• a result

Examples:

• Sunum gerçekten çok etkileyiciydi. = The presentation was really very impressive.
• Manzara çok etkileyici görünüyor. = The view looks very impressive.

Yes, depending on the nuance.

Some possibilities are:

• Bu çizim çok etkileyici. = This drawing is very impressive.
• Bu çizim çok etkileyici görünüyor. = This drawing looks very impressive.
• Bu çizim çok etkileyici duruyor. = This drawing looks very impressive
  This can sound a bit more visual/stylistic, like how it comes across in appearance.
• Bu çizim çok etkileyici gözüküyor. = This drawing looks very impressive
  This is close to görünüyor in everyday use.

Among these, görünüyor is a very safe and standard choice.

That would not sound natural for the meaning here.

In the original sentence, etkileyici describes how the drawing appears overall:

• Bu çizim gerçekten çok etkileyici görünüyor. = This drawing looks really very impressive.

If you move etkileyici directly before çizim, then it starts behaving more like impressive drawing:

• Bu gerçekten çok etkileyici çizim... = This really very impressive drawing...

That changes the structure and sounds incomplete unless more follows.

So for the intended meaning, keep the original order:

• Bu çizim gerçekten çok etkileyici görünüyor.
