Quoting bod:

That isn't quite the question I was asking!
But it is helpful information

I was asking why:
TÃ¼rkÃ§e biliyor musun?
and not:
TÃ¼rkÃ§e bilebiliyor musun?

It is ok for gramatically! Just uncommon usage, there is no problem!

Quoting caliptrix:

Yes, you are right!
TÃ¼rkÃ§e biliyor musun?

Why does this question not include the potential mood suffix?

I am not sure grammatically, but this is practically explanation:

TÃ¼rkÃ§e bilmek= to be able to speak Turkish
TÃ¼rkÃ§e'yi bilmek= to know what Turkish language is.

Quoting caliptrix:

And one may say, if he is good at Turkish:
Bilmem mi bee!

Which means:
Am I not doing it now ???

Or something else.....

that means: is it possible that i can't speak? but slang

Quoting AlphaF:

It is possible, but not very likely that anyone should ask you 'TÃ¼rkÃ§e konuşabiliyormusun?'.

The question will probably come as 'TÃ¼rkÃ§e biliyormusun?'

Possible informal replies, in increasing degree of mastery are,

No...(no Turkish at all, not even 'hayır')
Ã‡ok az...very little
Biraz...some
İdare ediyorum...I can manage (idiom)
Tabii...yes, of course
İyi TÃ¼rkÃ§e biliyorum...
Ã‡ok iyi TÃ¼rkÃ§e biliyorum...

Yes, you are right!
TÃ¼rkÃ§e biliyor musun?

And one may say, if he is good at Turkish:
Bilmem mi bee!

Normally, it is using with olsun as even a little: bir nebze olsun.

I am going to correct your English

Normally, it is used with olsun

In English, we put general word usage into the past tense. Not into what you would call a verbal noun. I appologise in advance if this offends but I am making the assumption that you want perfect English as much as I would like perfect Turkish!!!

Yes, sure

Thanks a lot!

Quoting caliptrix:

bir parÃ§a is also good, but i feel that you are talking about something like a cake:

Bir parÃ§a kek alabilir miyim?

Why is 'kek' in the nominative case here?

What do you think about otherwise?

bir parÃ§a = a piece of (in this example)

By the way, in Turkish, if we are talking about teams, we prefer the land's name usually: İngiltere!
