So I went to the Döner today. I said to them "Sandhills´de çocuklarınız çalışıyorlar mı?"
They said çalismak was not appropriate in this case since I was referring to Children attending the school. Is it appropriate to say "nerede çalişiyor musun?"? for school? only for University?
Yeah they are right. I only checked your sentences gramatically and told you they were right. But I have noticed now that semantically they are wrong. "To study" means "okumak" in those sentences.
Let me give you examples:
Do your children study in this school?
Çocuklarınız bu okulda mı okuyorlar?
Do you study at university?
Üniversitede mi okuyorsun?
Actually okumak means "to read" but we use it in the meaning of "to study" too.
If you want to ask someone if he is studying in the sense of doing his homeworks or reading a textbook then you should ask like this:
Do you study?
Ders mi çalışıyosun?
Note: I put these mi´s(question words) not at the end of the sentences but after what I want to emphasize. Let me give you an example:
For example:
Do they study in Sandhill ?
Sandhill´de mi okuyorlar?
I want to learn if they study in Sandhill. So I emphasize Sandhill putting the question word after it. If I put it after the verb, then I would be emphasizing the verb.
