The site's Turkish is Istanbul's, which the Republic made the standard in the 1930s: eight vowels kept apart, ğ reduced to a lengthening, k and g fronted beside front vowels. What the reference does not carry is the way everyone actually says the present tense — the r of -iyor vanishes in conversation, so geliyor is geliyo and yapıyorum is yapıyom. Television drops it too; only a newsreader keeps it.

Stress at the end of the word, carried by pitch rather than loudness, and an even, syllable-timed flow. Questions put their peak on the word just before mi.

joɾ(?=$| ) → joQuand: at the end of the present-tense suffix -iyor, in everyday speech
Comment: Stop on the o. Do not tap the r, and do not lengthen the vowel to make up for it.
The present tense comes from an old verb 'to walk' (yorı-), and its r has been wearing away for a century. In conversation it is gone almost everywhere; writing keeps it, and so does careful speech.
