Ben ekmeğe tahin ve pekmez sürüyorum.

No. In Turkish, the verb already shows the subject:

• sürüyorum = I am spreading / I spread

So ben is often omitted:

• Ekmeğe tahin ve pekmez sürüyorum.

Adding ben usually gives a bit of emphasis, contrast, or clarity:

• Ben sürüyorum = I’m the one spreading it.

So in this sentence, ben is optional unless the speaker wants emphasis.

Because ekmeğe has the dative case ending, which here marks the thing something is being applied onto / to.

With sürmek in the sense of to spread/apply something onto a surface, Turkish often works like this:

• thing being spread: direct object
• surface/target: dative case

So:

• ekmeğe sürmek = to spread onto the bread

That is why it is not just ekmek.

Two things are happening:

1. The dative ending is added: -e / -a
2. The final k in ekmek softens to ğ before a vowel

So:

• ekmek
  • -e → ekmeğe

This kind of consonant softening is very common in Turkish.

Because bread is not the thing being spread; it is the surface receiving the spread.

Compare the roles:

• tahin ve pekmez = what is being spread
• ekmeğe = where it is being spread

If you used ekmeği, that would make bread the direct object, which would suggest a different structure and would not fit this meaning naturally.

They are the direct objects, but they are indefinite/non-specific direct objects, so Turkish often leaves them in the bare form.

So:

• tahin ve pekmez sürüyorum = I’m spreading tahini and molasses
  • not referring to some specific, already-identified tahini and molasses

If they were specific, you would usually use the accusative:

• tahini ve pekmezi sürüyorum

That would sound more like:

• I’m spreading the tahini and the molasses
• or I’m spreading that tahini and molasses we already know about

Sürüyorum comes from the verb sürmek.

In this sentence, sürmek means:

• to spread
• to smear
• to apply onto a surface

The form breaks down like this:

• sür- = verb stem
• -üyor = present continuous marker here
• -um = I

So sürüyorum means:

• I am spreading
• or sometimes I spread, depending on context

Because of vowel harmony.

The Turkish present continuous suffix is commonly shown as -iyor, but it changes depending on the previous vowel:

• -ıyor
• -iyor
• -uyor
• -üyor

Since the last vowel in sür- is ü, the correct form is:

• sürüyor

Then add -um for I:

• sürüyor + um → sürüyorum

So this is a normal vowel-harmony change.

It can mean both, depending on context.

In Turkish, the -yor form often covers:

• something happening right now
• something done regularly / habitually
• something happening in the current period

So this sentence could mean:

• I’m spreading tahini and molasses on the bread
  or
• I spread tahini and molasses on bread

Context tells you which one is meant.

No, Turkish word order is fairly flexible.

This sentence is perfectly natural:

• Ben ekmeğe tahin ve pekmez sürüyorum.

But other orders are also possible, depending on emphasis:

• Ekmeğe tahin ve pekmez sürüyorum.
• Tahin ve pekmez ekmeğe sürüyorum.

The neutral order often puts the verb at the end, but Turkish can move things around to highlight different information.

Yes, absolutely.

A very natural version is:

• Ekmeğe tahin ve pekmez sürüyorum.

Because sürüyorum already means I am spreading, the subject is understood.

Turkish drops subject pronouns much more often than English does.

In ekmeğe, the ğ is not usually pronounced like a strong consonant.

It often:

• lengthens the previous vowel
• creates a smooth glide
• or is barely heard at all

So ekmeğe sounds roughly like:

• ek-me-e
• or ek-mey-e depending on accent/speech style

The important thing for learners is:

• don’t try to pronounce ğ like a hard g

No. Sürmek has several meanings in Turkish, and context is very important.

Common meanings include:

• to spread/apply
  
  • ekmeğe tereyağı sürmek = to spread butter on bread
• to drive
  
  • araba sürmek = to drive a car
• in some contexts, to continue/last

So in this sentence, the presence of ekmeğe tahin ve pekmez clearly shows that sürmek means to spread.

Yes. That is also natural.

• ekmeğe sürmek = to spread onto the bread
• ekmeğin üstüne sürmek = to spread onto the top/surface of the bread

Both can work. The version with ekmeğe is compact and very common with verbs like sürmek.

So the original sentence is completely normal Turkish.
