Questions & Answers about Sarı gömlek nasıl, kaliteli mi?
Where is the word for 'is' in Sarı gömlek nasıl?
In Turkish, the 'to be' verb for 'is' or 'are' is often left out when talking about 'he', 'she', or 'it'. You don't need to add a suffix here; Sarı gömlek nasıl simply means 'How [is] the yellow shirt'.
Why is nasıl placed at the end of the first phrase instead of the beginning?
In English, we put 'How' at the start of the sentence. In Turkish, question words usually sit exactly where the answer would go. Since the answer would be something like Sarı gömlek güzel (The yellow shirt is nice), the question word nasıl takes the place of güzel at the end of the phrase.
How is the word kaliteli formed?
It comes from the noun kalite (quality). By adding the suffix -li (which means 'with' or 'having'), it turns into an adjective meaning 'having quality' or 'high-quality'.
Why do we use mi at the end instead of mı?
The yes/no question particle follows the 4-way vowel harmony rule. Because the last vowel in kaliteli is i, the question particle must be mi to match it.
