What this grammar point covers
In Turkish, 'soru cümleleri' are question sentences. They are used to ask for information or confirmation. Turkish uses special question particles and word order for questions.
When to use it
Use this structure when you want to ask yes/no questions or information questions in Turkish.
Key forms
- The question particle 'mi/ mı/ mu/ mü' comes after the verb or the word being questioned.
- The question particle changes to match vowel harmony.
- Personal endings are added after the question particle.
Examples
O evde mi?
English: Is he/she at home?
Kitap burada mı?
English: Is the book here?
Siz hazır mısınız?
English: Are you ready?
Bu senin kalemin mi?
English: Is this your pen?
Tips
- Always use the correct form of the question particle to match the last vowel (mi, mı, mu, mü).
- The question particle is written separately from the verb.
- Don't forget to add the personal ending after the question particle.
Exceptions and edge cases
- When using question words like 'ne' (what), 'kim' (who), the question particle is not used.
