Questions & Answers about O takım finalde kupayı kazanacak mı?
Why is the question particle written separately as mı in kazanacak mı?
The question particle mı is always written as a separate word in Turkish. However, it still follows vowel harmony rules based on the preceding word. Because the last vowel in the future tense verb kazanacak is an 'a', the particle takes the form mı.
Why do we say kupayı instead of just kupa?
We use kupayı because it is a specific direct object, meaning 'the cup'. When a direct object is specific, we must add the accusative case ending. Here, we add the buffer letter y and the vowel ı to kupa.
Does O mean 'he' or 'it' in this sentence?
No, in this context O is a demonstrative adjective meaning 'that'. Because it sits right in front of the noun takım (team), O takım translates to 'that team'.
What does the -de suffix in finalde do?
The -de ending is the locative case suffix, which translates to 'in', 'on', or 'at'. Attached to the word final, it simply means 'in the final'.
