Questions & Answers about Bu soyun mirası bizi etkileyecek mi acaba?
Why do we need both the question particle mi and acaba here?
Acaba means "I wonder", but it doesn't make a sentence a question all by itself in Turkish. You still need standard question words or the question particle (mi) to form the question grammatically. Adding acaba at the end softens it, making it sound like you are thinking aloud rather than demanding a direct answer.
What is the grammar behind soyun mirası?
This is a genitive-possessive noun phrase, meaning "the lineage's heritage" or "the heritage of the lineage". Soy (lineage) takes the genitive suffix -un to show ownership, and miras (heritage) takes the possessive suffix -ı to show it is the thing belonging to the lineage.
Why is the pronoun bizi used instead of biz?
The verb etkilemek (to affect) acts on a direct object, which requires the accusative case. Since "us" is the specific group being affected, the pronoun biz gets the accusative suffix -i, becoming bizi.
What is the subject of etkileyecek, and why isn't there a personal ending on the verb?
The subject of the sentence is the entire phrase bu soyun mirası (the heritage of this lineage). Because "heritage" is a third-person singular subject ("it"), the future tense verb etkileyecek just uses the base future suffix -ecek without any extra personal ending.
