The Turkish interrogative suffix " mI " can be used between the repetition of the same verb with the aourist suffix. It indicates the low possibility which is not expected to occur.

 

Gider  mi  gider  --> [who knows ] he may go. [ His going is not expected to happen but still there is a slight possibility that he may[might] go.

Ahmet geçen hafta Fransa´ya taşındı. Kim bilir, orayı sever mi sever.

Ahmet moved to France last week. Who knows , he may [might] like it there.


[ Ahmet´s liking France is unexpected to happen as we know that France is not a place for Ahmet to like however there is always a slight possibility that he may like it there, We say "who knows" [kim bilir].
