What Is the Turkish Present Participle or Verbal Adjective?
The Turkish present participle or verbal adjective is a verb form that functions as an adjective, describing a noun or pronoun by showing an ongoing action or state. It is created by adding -en or -an to the verb root, depending on vowel harmony.
In essence, it is used to describe someone or something that is doing something (active meaning).

Typical Translation into English
In English, the Turkish present participle often translates to:
• The [noun] who/that is [verbing]
• [Verb]-ing [noun]
Examples:
1. Koşan çocuk → The child who is running or The running child
2. Okuyan öğrenci → The student who is reading or The reading student
3. Gülen kadın → The woman who is smiling or The smiling woman
Key Characteristics:
• It expresses an ongoing action relative to the subject.
• The action is happening at the same time as the main verb or in a general sense.
By modifying a noun, the Turkish present participle helps to provide context or additional information, similar to relative clauses in English.
