Questions & Answers about Ailedeki genetik bağ güçlü mü acaba?
Why is acaba at the very end of the sentence?
Acaba (meaning "I wonder") is very flexible. It often goes at the beginning of a sentence (Acaba ailedeki...), but putting it at the very end is extremely common in spoken Turkish to make the question sound softer and more like you are pondering it aloud.
Do we still need the question particle mü when we use acaba?
Yes! Even though acaba translates to "I wonder if" in English, grammatically the Turkish sentence is still formed as a regular yes/no question. You must keep the question particle mı/mi/mu/mü (here, mü because of the front rounded vowel in güçlü).
What is the -ki suffix doing in ailedeki?
It turns the location ailede (in the family) into an adjective describing the bond. So, ailedeki genetik bağ literally means "the genetic bond that is in the family".
How do you pronounce the word bağ?
The letter ğ (yumuşak ge) is not pronounced as a hard "g". Instead, it simply lengthens the vowel before it. You pronounce bağ roughly like "baa".
