İçmeye denediniz mi?

[Ali Smith]

Merhaba

I was talking to a Turkish friend about a drink called "rakı". He asked me, "İçmeye denediniz mi?"

If he was trying to ask me "Have you ever tried it?" shouldn't he have said "Hiç içmeye denediniz mi?"?

İçmeye denediniz mi? = Did you try it?

Hiç içmeye denediniz mi? = Have you ever tried it?

Thanks!

It should be “içmeyi”, not “içmeye”.

If he was trying to ask you "Have you ever tried it?", then he should have asked "Hiç içmeyi denediniz mi?" Yes.

Hiç içmeye denediniz mi? incorrect.

Hiç içmeyi denediniz mi? correct.

İçmeyi denediniz mi? - Did you try drinking it?
Hiç içmeyi denediniz mi? - Have you ever tried drinking it?
