Questions & Answers about Baklava hazır oldu mu komşulara da bir tabak götüreceğiz.

Is oldu mu a real question here? It looks like Did it become ready?

Not necessarily. In this sentence, hazır oldu mu is very commonly understood as when/once it’s ready rather than as a separate yes/no question.

Literally:

• hazır oldu = it became ready / it got ready
• mu = the yes/no question particle

But Turkish often uses this kind of structure in speech to mean something like:

• once X happens...
• when X is done...

So:

• Baklava hazır oldu mu, komşulara da bir tabak götüreceğiz.

means:

• Once the baklava is ready, we’ll take a plate to the neighbors too.

In writing, a comma would often make this clearer.

Why does Turkish say hazır oldu instead of something more like is ready?

Turkish often uses olmak (to become / to be) with adjectives to express a change of state.

So:

• hazır = ready
• hazır olmak = to become ready / to be ready

In context, baklava hazır oldu means:

• the baklava became ready
• more naturally in English: the baklava is ready or the baklava has finished baking/preparing

English and Turkish do not always match word for word here. Turkish focuses on the state being reached.
