What this grammar point covers
In Turkish, 'soru ekleri' are question particles added to the end of sentences to form yes/no questions. They are not attached directly to the verb but are written separately.
When to use it
Use 'soru ekleri' in Turkish when you want to ask a yes/no question. The correct form depends on the last vowel of the word before it, following vowel harmony.
Key forms
- mı
- mi
- mu
- mü
Examples
Bugün hava güzel mi?
English: Is the weather nice today?
Kahve ister misin?
English: Do you want coffee?
O evde mi?
English: Is he/she at home?
Yorgun musunuz?
English: Are you (plural/formal) tired?
Tips
- Always write the question particle separately from the verb.
- Choose mı/mi/mu/mü according to the last vowel of the preceding word.
- The question particle comes after the verb or after the information you want to question.
Exceptions and edge cases
- If the sentence is negative, the negative suffix comes before the question particle.
