aux:q: question particle

This is a subtype of aux, used for question particle -mI (mı/mi/mu/mü).

The question particle, when attached to a predicate, typically carries some of the tense/aspect/modality suffixes as well as person/number agreement suffixes.

Although it does not function as an auxiliary when attached to non-predicate words or phrases, we use aux:q for all uses of the question particle.

Okuyacak mısınız ? \n Are you going to read ?
aux:q(Okuyacak, mısınız)
Kitabı Ali'den aldın mı ? \n _Did_ you take the book from Ali ?
aux:q(aldın, mı)
Kitabı Ali'den mi aldın ? \n Did you take the book _from Ali_ ?
aux:q(Ali'den, mi)
Kitabı mı Ali'den aldın ? \n Did you take _the book_ from Ali ?
aux:q(Kitabı, mı)

aux:q in other languages: [mdf] [myv] [qpm] [qtd] [tr]
