Questions & Answers about Cuma günü kargoyu teslim ettin mi?
Why is the question particle mi separate from ettin?
In Turkish, yes/no questions are formed with the question particle (mı, mi, mu, or mü). In the witnessed past tense, the personal suffix for you (-n) attaches directly to the verb (ettin), and the question particle comes at the very end as a separate word. Because ettin has an e/i-type vowel, we use mi.
Why does kargo have -yu at the end?
The suffix -yu marks the specific direct object, known as the accusative case. Kargo means package. By adding -u (with a buffer y to keep the vowels apart), it shows you are asking about delivering the specific package, rather than just delivering packages in general.
Why does the sentence use Cuma günü instead of just Cuma for Friday?
In English we say on Friday, but Turkish typically uses a word pairing that literally translates to Friday day. Gün means day, and the -ü at the end links it to Cuma. You will see this pattern for all days of the week.
