Merhaba.

What does it mean, the phrase below?

Sayfamızı çok mu aksattık ne?

 

Does aksattık make for a 1st pers. sing. past tense? or the -dik participle form?

And why are there two question words used in thise sentence: mu and ne at the same time?

Merhaba.

What does it mean, the phrase below?

Sayfamızı çok mu aksattık ne?

 

Does aksattık make for a 1st pers. sing. past tense? or the -dik participle form?

And why are there two question words used in thise sentence: mu and ne at the same time?

 

aksamak (1to limp, 2to be hindered)

aksa+t(causative)+mak----------->aksatmak, ihmal etmek (to neglect)

 

aksa+t+dı(simple past)+k(first plural)------>aksattık/ihmal ettik (we neglected)

 

but "ihmal etmek" is much better here. becuase people usually understand as to impede a duration that is going on.

 

Sayfamızı çok mu ihmal ettik? (Have we neglected our page very much?) [the stress has been brought to "çok" by putting the question article behind it.] : Have we neglected our page "very much"?)

 

Sayfamızı çok mu ihmal ettik ne? (I´m not aware but have we neglected our page very much?)

The professional way is to emphasize the word "ne" while you are speaking.
