Questions & Answers about Süt ve asit iyi bir karışım olur mu?
How does the aorist question form work in olur mu?
The verb olmak (to be/become) takes the aorist suffix -ur to talk about a general scientific fact or habit. To make it a question, we add the particle mu written as a separate word. It follows the vowel harmony of the last vowel in olur. Together, they mean "does it become?" or "is it generally?".
Why does olmak take the -ur suffix? Shouldn't a short, one-syllable verb take -ar or -er?
Normally, yes! Most single-syllable verbs use -ar or -er for the aorist tense. However, olmak is one of the 13 exception verbs in Turkish that take the four-way vowel harmony endings (-ır, -ir, -ur, -ür) despite being only one syllable.
Why is it iyi bir karışım instead of bir iyi karışım?
In Turkish, descriptive adjectives almost always come before the word bir (a/an). The standard word order is Adjective + bir + Noun. So "a good mixture" translates literally to "good a mixture".
Since the subject is "milk and acid" (two things), why isn't the verb plural like olurlar mı?
