Questions & Answers about Hangi beden kazak arıyorsunuz?
Does hangi change its ending depending on what we are asking about?
Hangi means "which". In Turkish, adjectives and question words like hangi do not change to match the word they describe. It stays exactly the same whether you are asking about one sweater or many sweaters.
Why isn't there a specific object ending on kazak? Shouldn't it be kazağı arıyorsunuz?
We only add the specific object ending (the accusative case) when we are talking about a specific, known item, like "the sweater". Because you are asking about a sweater of a certain size in general, kazak stays in its plain dictionary form.
The verb arıyorsunuz comes from aramak. Doesn't that mean "to call"?
Yes, aramak is a very common verb that means both "to call" (on the phone) and "to look for" or "to search". You can usually tell which meaning is used from the context. In a clothing store, arıyorsunuz definitely means "you are looking for"!
Can I use beden for the size of anything, like a coffee cup or a box?
No, beden is specifically used for clothing and body sizes. If you are asking for the size of a drink or a box, you would use a different word like boy instead.
