The question suffix or, in other words, the postposition of question, constitutes one of issues that contain some problems in Turkish grammar. When examining the major Turkish grammar books, several problems can be identified on issues such as what kind of crop should be and what its function is. Some of the basic sources call “mI / mU” as preposition because of the form of writing, while the other part argues that this is a suffix. In terms of function, almost all of the sources state that this is an inflection suffix and can be added to both names and verbs.
This study aims to determine the approaches on the function and scope of the question suffix which is used in Turkey Turkish. Within the scope of the study, in addition to the major Turkish grammar books on Turkish grammar, 9, 10, 11 and 12th grade Turkish Language textbooks were examined. Thus, the approaches to identify the function of the question suffix and determine the function of these sources have been identified. Afterwards, it is tried to reveal what the function of this suffix should actually be and what suffix category it should be included by comparative example sentences.
