What is the word order and structure of a question in Turkish?
I'm currently learning Turkish, and I'm confused on how questions are asked.
say for example:
banka nerede = where is the bank
nereye gidiyorsun? = where are you going?
what i'm confused about is where the question particle is placed in a turkish question. how can i kno w where in the sentence does it belong? the end? the beginning? what exactly?

Before we can start asking questions, let's learn some question words:
* Ne? - What?
* Nerede? - Where?
o Nereden? - From where?
o Nereye? - To where?
* Ne zaman? - When?
* Neden? - Why?
* Hangi? - Which?
* Kim? - Who?
o Kimin? - Whose (is it)?
o Kime? - To whom?
* Nasıl? - How?
o Ne kadar? - How much?
o Ne kadar zaman kaldı? - How long left?
Let's try and incorporate these words into sentences.
* Senin adın ne? - What is your name?
* Kumanda nerede? - Where's the remote?
o Nereden geldin? - Where did you come from?
o Nereye gidiyorsun? - Where are you going (to)?
* O evden ne zaman çıktı? - When did he leave the house?
* Sen neden kurabiyeyi kurabiye kavanozundan çaldın? - Why did you steal the cookie from the cookie jar?
* Bugün hangi elbiseyi giyineceğim? - Which dress am I going to wear today?
* O kim? - Who is that?
o O kimin? - Whose is that?
o O hediyeyi kime gönderiyorsun? - Who are you sending that present to?
* Onu nasıl göndereceksin? - How are you going to send it?
o O ne kadardı? - How much was it?
o Evden çıkmana ne kadar zaman kaldı? - How long left until you leave the house?
Sen gidiyormusun? - Are you going?
However, it's different with some other people. Let's conjugate it fully:
Am I going? (Ben) gidiyor muyum?
Are you going? (Sen) gidiyor musun?
Is he/she going? (O) gidiyor mu?
Are we going? (Biz) gidiyor muyuz?
Are you (pl.) going? (Siz) gidiyor musunuz?
Are they going? (Onlar) gidiyor mu?, (Onlar) gidiyorlar mı?
