Tap for its suffix chain
çuvallbag ıyorpresent continuous umI

The stem, then -iyor, then a person ending. The first vowel of -iyor follows vowel harmony (geliyor, alıyor, okuyor, görüyor), but -yor never changes, so the person endings after it are always back: -um, -sun, -uz.

A stem ending in a vowel drops it before -iyor: çuvalla- → çuvallıyor.

Çuvallar gerçekten çok ağırdı ama işimiz eğlenceliydi.

The sacks were really very heavy, but our work was fun.

Ayvalık'ta Zeytin Hasadı, p. 1 · A2
