Yüklemek connects physical loading with digital uploading. The destination makes the action clear, whether it is a truck or a website.
The idea
The destination takes the dative: kamyona yüklemek, siteye yüklemek. Before -yor, final e in yükle- narrows to ü, influenced by the preceding rounded vowel: yüklüyoruz. The past keeps e: yükledik. The future uses linking y: yükleyeceğim.
