Turkish question particles #
Turkish forms yes/no questions and alternative questions with the clitic mI, written as a separate word and harmonizing with the preceding vowel as mı, mi, mu or mü ([GK05] §11.1, §11.1.1.5). It attaches to the predicate when the whole proposition is questioned and can instead attach to a subject, object or adverbial (§19.1.1, §19.1.3); in an alternative question it follows each alternative (§19.1.2). It is obligatory in polar questions ([TH26]). Indirect alternative questions keep mI after each alternative, while indirect yes/no questions are formed with the -(y)Ip…-mA construction instead (§24.4.3.2).
