I'm trying to do an exercise with those question words. I think it was not in my lessons yet, because some of the examples I do not recognise.
This is one of the examples: Sen öğrenci misin? - Are you a student.
But what do I use with the other personal pronouns? İs this correct?
ben - miyim /mıyım / muyum / müyüm
sen - misin / mısın / musun / müsün
o - just plaın: mi / mı / mu / mü
biz - miyiz / mıyız / muyuz / müyüz
siz - misiniz / mısınız / musunuz / müsünüz
onlar - lar or ler? but e.g. mılar sounds so strange...
İs it correct to use the o-form and the onlar-form for animals and things?
Thanks for explanation.

Quoting Trudy: I'm trying to do an exercise with those question words. I think it was not in my lessons yet, because some of the examples I do not recognise.

But what do I use with the other personal pronouns? İs this correct?
ben - miyim
sen - misin
o - mu
biz - miyiz
siz - misiniz
onlar -mı
You use the question words according to the vocal harmony.With the personal pronouns you just have to follow the rules of the vocal harmony.
İs it correct to use the o-form and the onlar-form for animals and things?
Yes,it is.

Trudy you are right about the onlar/mılar There is no such thing as mılar. They use the singular form (mi) and put the plural (lar) on the noun (typically). I'm sorry I'm really bad to explain things but I'll show you an example:
Ders ilginç mi? Is the lesson interesting? (singular)
Dersler ilginç mi? Are the lessons interesting? (plural)
I hope you get it despite my bad explanation.

Another thing with mI,a bit of notice.
İyi mi ? is he good ?
İyi misiniz ? are you good ?
İyi miyiz? are we good ?
But with onlar, İyiler mi ? are they good ?
Or it can be same like with o
İyi mi ? are they good.
