To ask a question we use the suffix

-mi

The rule is

verb + (i)yor +(SPACE HERE)+ m(i)+possession

Exception in the 3rd plural person

verb + (i)yor+ l(e)r + (SPACE HERE)+m(i)+

In some places of Turkey the rule is Ok for 3rd plural person as well. Everybody can understand even you are strict about the rule in the 3rd plural person. So no worries when forming questions.

The “i” in the (i)yor and m(i) changes acording to the
vowel harmony.

Note: The question mi is always written as a new word.(DON’T FORGET TO PUT SPACE)
