Mı, mi, mu, mü

Apparently, a statement can be turned into a question by adding mı, mi, mu, mü at the end of it.

Which one to use? See the vowel harmoney rule.

Scottish?: İskoçyalı mı?
Paris?: Paris mi?
Istanbul?: İstanbul mu?
Turkish?: Türk mü?

Rome?: Roma mı?
Me?: Ben mi?
Driver?: Şoför mü?

Mnemonic: Notice how Şoför sounds like chauffeur.

Note to self: Mistakes are ok. They reflect effort in the right direction. Take pride in the effort and stay focussed on the direction's goal.
