It is used for formal/official/encyclopedic informations. Example:
Ankara Türkiye'nin başkentidir.
Ankara is the capital city of Turkey

Or if you have a guess, you can use it:
Görüşmeyeli uzun zaman oldu, büyümüştür.
It has been a long time since we saw each other, (I guess) he has grown up.

hi i hope you are well, and you have sorted your problem out. i am now in spain i will be back in england thursday. talk to you soon take care .



Selam, umarım iyisindir, ve sorunlarını çözmüşsündür. Ben şimdi İspanya'dayım, İngiltere'ye perşembe döneceğim. Yakında konuşuruz, kendine iyi bak.



Faruk-you used the phrase'umarım iyisindir' but you told us before that 'dir' suffixes were not used in spoken Turkish so we could not say 'bebek güzeldir' Why can you say one but not the other?



That gives the "guess" feeling. I remember I explained it somewhere in this site but I don't know where exactly now. Let me check it

I decided to go to the wedding long time ago, and now I am trying to sell the tickets. The question wasn't real anymore but not "hypothetical" completely either

Anyone wants to buy my ticket?

Quoting CANLI:

Versem mi ?
Okusam mı ?
Gelsem mi ?

Those are not conditional forms
They are Delek Kipi 'wishing forms'

And those are wishing forms in the Olumlu Soru

Versem mi ? here means like when you are talking with yourself thinking 'will i give ....'
Okusam mı ? means like 'do i read or not ?'
Gelsem mi ? 'will i come or not'

And you also can add the word Acaba in some sentence lie

Acaba bugün sinemaya gitsem mi ?
İ wonder do i go to the cinema today ?

I think we should say it "should I?" form.

Versem mi? Should I give it?

Asking a question to someone or himself because he couldn't decide yet. As another example, today is a special day and you can't decide what to wear. You probably ask yourself or to your friend what to wear. Then you can use this form:
Ne giysem?
What should I wear?

Or maybe you saw a great book but you have a bit exonomical problems. You might ask yourself or another one whether it is better to buy the book although you need that money. Then you are undecided yet, and ask:
"Bu kitabı alsam mı?"
"Should I buy this book?"

As Canlı mentioned, that is a "wish form", but if you are asking the question about yourself because you couldn't deceide yet, that form is used.

27 Temmuz'da İstanbul'da Metallica konseri var, ama aynı gün kuzenim evlenecek. Konsere mi gitsem yoksa düğüne mi?

Isn't it true, that the image of Mohammed is non-existing

http://www.mein-parteibuch.de/images/20060204_mohammed/mohammed!.png



You are right, there is no image of prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) indeed. What is this website about? I think it is not of Muslims?
