Questions & Answers about Şu kadın kim?
Why is kim at the end of the sentence?
In Turkish, question words usually sit exactly where the answer will go. If you answer 'That woman is Ayşe' (Şu kadın Ayşe), the name is at the end. So, the question word kim (who) replaces the name at the end of the sentence.
Where is the word for 'is' here?
There isn't one! Turkish doesn't have an exact word for 'is' in simple present-tense sentences like this. You just put the subject (Şu kadın) and the question word (kim) directly together.
Why does the sentence use şu instead of o for 'that'?
While both can mean 'that', şu is specifically used when you are pointing something out or drawing someone's attention to a person in your line of sight. The word o is used for things further away or previously mentioned.
Would kim change if I was asking about multiple women?
It can, but it doesn't have to. You could ask Şu kadınlar kim? (making only 'woman' plural) or Şu kadınlar kimler? by adding the plural ending -ler to kim. Both are perfectly correct in everyday Turkish.
