sarımsaklı mı
sarımsaksız mı
mi-mı >> suffix
they are used separately.
and also the right form of "garlic" is "sarımsak" not "sarmısak".  but i think it doesn't matter. people will understand you in both ways. because some turks use "sarmısak" and some use "sarımsak".

jellyfish is not pısırık actually noone in istanbul would understand that you mean a jellyfish when you say "pısırık".
pısırık means shy, coward...
jellyfish is denizanası (mother of sea )

Quoting Deli_kizin: Quoting impulse: Quoting bod: Are these correct question forms?
Bu yemek samısaklı var mı?
Does this food contain garlic?
Bu yemek samısaksız var mı?
Is this food free from garlic?
|
Well, the correct questions are as follows,
Bu yemekde sarmısak var mı? = Does this food contain garlic?
Bu yemek sarmısaksız mı? = Is this food free from garlic?
|
Evet ya haklısın! Yanlış yazmışım.  Düzeltiğin için teşekkürler.
Shouldn't it be 'yemekte' instead of 'yemekde' ? |
