Use sürekli for something continuous or repeatedly occurring.
The idea
Sürekli ses is a continuous sound; sürekli soruyor can mean someone keeps asking.
Examples
- Yağmur sabahtan beri sürekli yağıyor.It has been raining continuously since morning.
- Sürekli bir ses duyuyoruz.We hear a continuous sound.
- Sürekli eğitim yeni beceriler kazandırır.Continuing education develops new skills.
- Bu gürültü sürekli değil, ara sıra oluyor.This noise is not continuous; it happens occasionally.
- Sürekli aynı soruyu soruyor.They keep asking the same question.
- Sürekli çalışmak yerine ara vermek de önemlidir.Taking breaks is also important instead of working continuously.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic Turkish voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Turkish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
With a sound it may mean uninterrupted; with an action it can mean repeated frequently, depending on context.
