And also the question "mi" moves into the middle of the sentence according to what you want to stress.
Lets ask questions ;
1. Cüzdanını mı kaybettin ? ---> In this sentence we stress on "Cüzdan" by locating "mı" [ "i" changes into "ı" due to vowel harmony] [Have you lost your wallet ? ]
as you see, we emphasize "wallet" by moving "mi" into the middle[after Cüzdan".
2. Cüzdanını kaybettin mi ? ---> In this sentence we stress on "kaybetmek " by locating "mi" in the end.
so that we emphasize "to lose" by putting "mi" after "kaybetmek".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Türkçe öğreniyor musun ? --> Are you learning Turkish ? [ "Stress" is on "öğrenmek" "]
Türkçe mi öğreniyorsun ? ---> Are you learning Turkish ? [ "Stress" is on " Türkçe" ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion would be ;
Put question ending "mi,mı,mu,mü" just after the word that you want to stress [emphasize].
