Describe sweating during an activity and recognise the same verb with a glass surface.
The idea
Present terliyor narrows the final e of terle- to i. Past terledi keeps it; future terleyecek adds a linking y.
| Person | Present continuous | Past | Future |
|---|---|---|---|
| ben | terliyorum | terledim | terleyeceğim |
| sen | terliyorsun | terledin | terleyeceksin |
| o | terliyor | terledi | terleyecek |
| biz | terliyoruz | terledik | terleyeceğiz |
| siz | terliyorsunuz | terlediniz | terleyeceksiniz |
| onlar | terliyorlar | terlediler | terleyecekler |

Watch out
A mirror that terliyor is collecting condensation, not perspiring like a person. Translate the event according to its subject.
