düşünürüm/düşünüyorum (İ thinking)

yalvarırım/yalvarıyorum (İ begging)

yürürüm/yürüyorum (İ am walking)

okurum/okuyorum (İ am reading)

Konuşurum/Konuşuyorum (İ am talking)

 

İ don´t see any difference between those words,they both mean the same.

Can you give me an example when to use each in which situation?

okurum/okuyorum (İ am reading)

Konuşurum/Konuşuyorum (İ am talking)

düşünürüm gives an ambiguous statement. That doesn´t say any specific time. You can add that into your sentence. Otherwise it can make any meaning such as future thinking, past thinking, little or long thinking. It doesn´t say really when to think. 

düşünüyorum means thinking right now, either in the short time as continuous tense or a long time as present tense. It has time for now.

- What are you doing now?

- I am thinking: düşünüyorum.

or

- what is your opinion about this topic?

- I am thinking (for some long time), I haven´t decided yet: düşünüyorum

But düşünürüm won´t gıve this meaning. It can be anything, for example if you are talking about future conditional, you can say;

- Olursa düşünürüm; I´ll think if it happens

or if you are talking about a habit;

- Geceleri düşünürüm (I think at nights)

"düşünürüm" is simple present tense....I (always) think....It does not need a specified time.

"düşünüyorum" is present continious tense ... I am thinking (now)
