Use Bunu yazabilir misiniz? to politely ask someone to write something down.

The idea

Bunu means this as a direct object, and yazabilir misiniz? asks can you write in the polite or plural form. Name what you need instead: Adresi buraya yazabilir misiniz? asks someone to write the address here. The question particle mi is separate, while -siniz attaches to it.

Examples

  • Bunu yazabilir misiniz?Could you write this down?
  • Adresi buraya yazabilir misiniz?Could you write the address here?
  • Bir kez daha yazabilir misiniz?Could you write it once more?
  • Adımı yanlış yazdınız.You wrote my name incorrectly.
  • Lütfen telefon numaranızı yazın.Please write your phone number.
  • Ben adresi yazdım.I wrote the address.

Watch out

Do not write the question as one word: yazabilir misiniz has a space before misiniz. The informal singular question is yazabilir misin, which addresses one familiar person.
