Inflection
editSlightly irregular conjugation despite mi being a particle. Aorist are the same with future (but imperfective -yor > muyum). Past, inferential, and conditional tenses instead of having normal endings (*mıdım, *mısam, ..), this particle instead has -y-. This irregularity arose from the compounding with *imek, of which has past idi, conditional ise, and inferential imiş, later suiting to the Turkish vowel harmony.
This particle follows vowel harmony from the previous word (see below), thus sever miyim, not *sever mıyım.
