Questions & Answers about Hangi renk ceket alıyorsun?
Does hangi change if we are talking about plural jackets?
No, hangi (which) stays exactly the same whether you are asking about one item or multiple items. In Turkish, question words and adjectives do not change to match the plural or singular state of the noun!
Why is the word order exactly Hangi renk ceket?
In Turkish, just like in English, describing words come before the thing they describe. Hangi modifies renk (color), and the phrase hangi renk (which color) goes right before ceket (jacket) to describe it.
I thought the verb almak meant "to take". Why is it translated as "buying" here?
Almak is a very useful verb that means both "to take" and "to buy". You will usually know which meaning is intended based on the context. When talking about picking out clothes, "buying" is the most natural fit!
Why is there an ı in the middle of alıyorsun?
The root of the verb is al- (buy/take). To add the present continuous ending -yor (doing right now), we need a connecting vowel. Because the vowel in al- is a, the rules of 4-way vowel harmony tell us to use ı, giving us al-ı-yor-sun.
