I once thought I heard somone say nemiş or ne miş as if to say ´what was that?´. Is that correct? Otherwise I misunderstood.
Ne imiş ? = Neymiş ? ----> What is it[that] ?
A - Kadir bir şey bulmuş. ----> Kadir found something.
B - Bulduğu şey neymiş ? ---> What is that he found ?
-------------------------------------
Neydi ? ---> What was that ?
O ses neydi ? ---> What was that sound ?
