In English, tag questions change depending on the subject and verb ("aren't you?", "didn't she?", "hasn't it?").
Turkish makes this incredibly easy. To seek confirmation, just add the unchanging phrase değil mi? (literally "is it not?") to the end of your sentence. You can think of it as the equivalent of ending a sentence with "right?"
| This flea market is very big, right? | Bu bit pazarı çok büyük, değil mi? |
| You are a collector, aren't you? | Sen koleksiyoncusun, değil mi? |
Any verb, tense, or polarity
No matter the subject, the tense, or whether the statement is positive or negative, the tag remains exactly the same. You do not conjugate it.
| You are a tradesman, you can make a discount on the price, right? | Esnaf adamsın, fiyatta indirim yapabilirsin, değil mi? |
| You are haggling because you find the price very high, aren't you? | Fiyatı çok yüksek bulduğunuz için pazarlık yapıyorsunuz, değil mi? |
| That collector isn't selling this genuine sculpture, right? | O koleksiyoncu bu hakiki heykeli satmıyor, değil mi? |
| There are no scratches at all on this copper plate, right? | Bu bakır tabakta hiç çizik yok, değil mi? |
