Questions & Answers about Bir doktor her gün deney yapar mı?
How does the aorist question form work in yapar mı?
To ask about general facts or habits, we use the aorist tense. We take the verb stem yap, add the aorist suffix -ar to make yapar, and then add the separate question particle mı. Because the subject is a third-person singular doctor, there is no personal suffix added to mı.
Why is deney singular in Turkish when the English translation says 'experiments'?
In Turkish, when you talk about a general, non-specific category of things as the object of a verb, you usually keep the noun singular. The sentence is treating the experiments as a general daily activity rather than pointing to specific ones, so deney stays singular without the -ler suffix.
Why does the verb take the -ar suffix instead of -ır?
For most one-syllable verb stems like yap, the aorist suffix is either -ar or -er based on a-type vowel harmony. The suffixes -ır, -ir, -ur, and -ür are mostly used for verbs with more than one syllable, though there are about thirteen common one-syllable exceptions that you will memorize over time.
Can I move the question particle mı to emphasize a different part of the sentence?
