oturmak

== Turkish == === Etymology === From Ottoman Turkish اوتورمق (oturmak, “to sit, incubate, live, remain”), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (otur-, “to sit”), from earlier *oltur-, from Proto-Turkic *ol-tur- (“to sit”), akin to *ol-ur- (“to sit”) both being causative forms of Proto-Turkic *ol- (“to be”). Proto-Turkic *ol(u)-'s relation to Karakhanid [script needed] (olmāq, “to be, become ripe”), and Turkish olmak (“to be, become, happen, exist, be situated”) is not clear, at least the Turkish form is thought to be from Proto-Turkic *bōl- (“to become”). The -/l/- in -/lt/- cluster was lost, compare a similar case in getir- (<*gẹl-tür-). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /o.tuɾ.mɑk/ === Verb === oturmak (third-person singular simple present oturur) (intransitive) to sit Bir saattir bilgisayar karşısında oturuyorum. ― I have been sitting in front of the computer for an hour. (intransitive, with dative case) to sit down (on), sit (upon) (intransitive, with locative case) to reside, dwell in Ben İstanbul'da oturuyorum. ― I live in Istanbul. (intransitive) to fit on Üzerine tam oturdu. ― It fitted on you perfectly. (intransitive) to settle, subside (intransitive) to catch on, take root, become popular, be accepted Gün geçtikçe yeni sözcükler iyice oturmuştu. ― As days passed, the neologisms had caught on. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Related terms ==== === References ===
