Learn Turkish: Bu skor kötü. Maç berabere bitecek mi? - This score is bad. Will the match end in a draw?

The verb root is bit (to end). We add the future tense suffix -ecek to make bitecek (it will end). To turn this into a yes/no question, we simply add the question particle mi after it. Remember that the question particle is always written as a separate word!

Why do we use mi here instead of mı or mu?

The question particle follows 4-way vowel harmony based on the last vowel of the word before it. Since the last vowel in bitecek is an e, the particle must be mi. As a handy shortcut: whenever a word uses the -ecek version of the future suffix, its question particle will always start with mi!

Is the -e at the end of berabere a suffix meaning "to"?

It looks exactly like the dative suffix (meaning "to" or "towards"), but here it forms a fixed expression. The root word beraber means "together". When talking about sports or games ending in a tie, Turkish always uses the special adverb berabere. The phrase berabere bitmek is the standard way to say "to end in a draw".

Why isn't there a verb for "is" in the sentence Bu skor kötü?
