Quoting bod:

Is this the correct form for a question without a verb?

Banyoda mısın?



Yes. Positive would be "banyodasın", negative "banyoda değilsin", and interrogative is like you said

Greetings,
In Turkish we don't have the verb "be" like in English. As you know in English the "be" verb has the following forms:

Simple present tense : am, is, are
Present perfect tense : has been, have been
Simple past tense : was, were

When you change the word order you simply make a question. All these features in English are compelely unknown to Turkish. We don't have a "be" verb, not for affirmative sentences nor for questions.
