<p>
        In a question it is common to put the question particle at the end of the sentence.
        This is not necessary however.
    </p>

    <p>
        If you want to stress a particular part of the sentence, then you can put the question particle behind this part.
        This shows that <strong>it is the part before the question particle that you are questioning</strong>, while you already assume the rest of the sentence to be true.
    </p>

    <p>
        In the three questions in the table below you assume and question different things:
    </p>

    <ul>
        <li>In the first sentence below you assume nothing.</li>
        <li>In the second sentence you assume that there is someone who wants coffee, and you ask whether it is Elif.</li>
        <li>In the third sentence you assume that Elif wants something, and you ask whether it is coffee that she wants.</li>
    </ul>

    <table class="ui celled fixed table">
        <tbody><tr>
            <td>Does Elif want coffee?</td>
            <td>Elif kahve istiyor mu?</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Is it Elif who wants coffee?</td>
            <td>Elif mi kahve istiyor?</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Is it coffee that Elif wants?</td>
            <td>Elif kahve mi istiyor?</td>
        </tr>
