Here is another easy sentence structure. "Are you ...?"

The idea of a substitution drill is you practice using a bit of grammar by filling in the "..."

Give your own examples, but always put the English, too. If you aren't sure, have a try anyway. Someone else can correct you, and you will have learned something!

Are you Turkish: Türk müsün?
(Note: This is the singular familiar form, used for one person you know well. You should use müsünüz if you are speaking to two or more people, or someone you need to be more formal with.)

Are you married: Evli misin?

Are you cross with me: Bana kızgın mısın?

Are you busy now: Şimdi meşgul musun?

Now:over to you.

FILL IN THE GAPS: "ARE YOU ....?"

Are you happy? - Mutlu musun?
Are you tired? - Yorgun musun?
Are you lazy? - Tembel misin?

This one could be useful too:

Are you jealous? - Kıskanç mısın?

Why are you jealous? - Neden kıskançsın?



ps: when there is a word like why, what, where, how, how many.. / neden, ne, nerede, nasıl, kaç.. in your sentence you don't need to use -mi/-mı/-mu/-mü, you just put the personal suffix after the adjective (in this case)

Nice idea Marion, let's see if it works...

When you say "don't need to", do you mean that it is optional or that it is wrong to include the interrogative suffix (mi, mı, mü, mu) ???

Tabii - o bildim ama unuttum çünkü yorgunum var.
Çok sağol.

of course - I knew that but had forgotten because I am tired.
