AUX : auxiliary verb

Definition

In Turkish the verbs ol- and bulun- and the question particle mI (mı/mi/mu/mü) may function as auxiliary verbs. We (currently) use the AUX for the question particle. The verbs are marked as ol- and bulun- are always marked as VERB. The dependency label indicates their use (auxiliary, copula or content verb).

Examples

• Okumuş bulunduk “We have happened to read (it)”
• Okuyor olacağım “I will be reading”
• Okumuş muydun “Have you read (it)?”
• Okuymuş olmaycak mıydın “Weren’t you supposed to read (it)”
