Turkish to English translation tips
- Turkish uses subject–object–verb word order, while English is subject–verb–object, so the AI restructures whole sentences instead of substituting words one by one.
- English requires an explicit subject in nearly every sentence and marks questions with word order, so translations into English often need pronouns and auxiliaries that the source language leaves out. Turkish expresses tense, person, negation, and possession through stacked suffixes on a verb that comes last, so sentences are restructured completely in translation.
- Turkish builds grammatical relationships with ordered suffixes. Case, possession, tense and person endings change form through vowel harmony and sometimes consonant alternation, so do not copy one surface suffix everywhere.
- Use the direct past -di for witnessed or asserted events and -miş for reported, inferred or newly discovered information when that distinction matters. English often needs words such as apparently or I hear to preserve it.
- Singular sen is familiar; siz is plural or respectful singular. Question mı/mi/mu/mü is written as a separate word, but following person endings attach to it, as in misiniz.

Use sen for one familiar addressee and siz for multiple people or respectful singular address. Keep pronouns, verb endings, possessives and imperatives aligned with that decision.
