Questions & Answers about Taraftar bu skora sevinecek mi?
Why is the question particle mi separate and without any personal suffixes?
In the future tense question structure, the question particle is always written separately. Here, it is just mi because the subject taraftar (the fans/fanbase) is treated as third-person singular. If the subject were 'you', the personal suffix would attach directly to the particle, making it sevinecek misin?.
Why is the word for score written as skora instead of just skor?
The verb sevinmek (to be glad / to rejoice) requires the dative case suffix (-a or -e) on the object. In Turkish, you aren't glad about something, you are glad to it. So skor gets the suffix to become skora.
The English translation says 'fans', but taraftar doesn't have a plural suffix. Is this a mistake?
No, it is very natural in Turkish! The word taraftar can refer to a single fan or act as a collective noun meaning 'the fanbase' or 'the fans in general'. Because it is grammatically singular here, the verb sevinecek stays in the singular form too.
How do we know to use mi instead of mı or mu for the question word?
The question particle follows 4-way vowel harmony based on the word right before it. The last vowel in sevinecek is an 'e'. After an 'e' or 'i', the question particle always becomes mi.
