Misiniz

Misiniz is a Turkish interrogative form meaning “are you?” used with the second person plural or formal address (siz). It is formed by combining the question particle mi with the predicate form sizsiniz, which means “you are.” The resulting phrase siz misiniz? literally asks, “Are you you?” and is commonly used to confirm identity, status, or role in a polite or formal context.

In Turkish, the present tense of the verb “to be” is expressed through the suffixed form of the pronoun, so sizsiniz means “you are” (plural or formal). The question particle mi is added to form a question, yielding misiniz. The same pattern applies to informal singular you, for example sen misin? meaning “Are you?” with the pronoun sen.

Other related forms reflect person and formality. For informal singular, you would typically say sen misin?; for plural or formal address, siz misiniz? The pronunciation follows Turkish vowel harmony, with the appropriate form of the question particle (mi, mı, mu, mü) determined by the preceding vowel in the surrounding words, though in siz misiniz the common form is misiniz.

Examples:

- Siz misiniz? — Are you (plural or formal) the people I should speak with?

- Sen misin? — Are you (informal singular)?

Misiniz is a standard component of Turkish question formation and appears in conversation, service interactions, and any context requiring polite or formal identification.
