I know "babasi" is the second part of a possessive contruction.

(Understood person)'s Father..I think the "mi" is the interoggetive particle, but shouldn't it be separate?

I think the phrase means .is ( name)'s father Turkish.

Yardimdan Tes¸ekkürler

I agree that is the meaning I would get from that sentence, Turksih native/fluent speakers the same as other language's native/fluent speakers don't necessarily stick to grammar rules..
my opinion anyway.i.e. I agree with your meaning

Yes, it should be seperate from "babası"

-babası mı Türk?

I also agree with Robyn. I do not understand why people don't stick with grammar rules...

Such as the example above and many others. Especially writing "şey" as connected. It is a noun and must be written seperate always. Herşey --> Her şey, Birşey --> Bir şey etc.
