Quoting caliptrix: Quoting bod: Quoting caliptrix: This is another example for that Turks can't speak Turkish properly  |
Including "for" is wrong Caliptrix - although I cannot explain why. Thanks for your excellent explanation  |
Sana da teşekkürler  |
This is funny. AS I study Turkish, I think I know English, but I have no books to prove it. For Turkish, I have books, but Caliptrix answers our questions anyway.
Thanks to him!

Quoting bod: Uyanık mısın? - Are you awake?
Daha uyanık mısın? - Are you awake yet? |
If you want to use "daha" here, the sentence must be negative:
Daha uyanık değil misin?
But this is still strange, just the common usage is:
Daha uyanmadın mı?.

Surely that translates as "Aren't you awake yet"?
A question that cannot be truthfully answered "no"
