Almost! You need to change the order in English when it´s a question. And order change in Turkish one makes some difference.

 

Ekmek neden yok ? = what is the specific reason that there isn´t any bread ?

Neden ekmek yok ?  = why isn´t there any bread ?

Ekmek neden yok ? why

Neden ekmek yok ? bread

general rule, emphasis is on the closest word to the verb.
