-1st type of personal suffixes are used.

-The tasks of this suffix are:

a) noticing/realising/observing

b) learning/hearing from someone/somewhere and report what you have learnt.

c) surprising

-These tasks are expressed by "-pä/pa" and "-hän/han" in Finnish. I talked about this for Finns so that this may be easiness.

-"i" disappears after a consonant-ended word and becomes "y" after a vowel-ended word like it had disappeared and become at "idi" and "ise".

You searched on the official websites. You learnt it is true. You say:

"haber doğru (the news is true)". You didn´t add "-miş" because you are sure.

"haber doğruymuş (the news is true") You added "-miş" because you also wanted to emphasize you learnt this from somewhere. Therefore you strengthened the meaning of hearing/learning from somewhere using "-miş".
