Use Sıra bende mi? to ask whether it is your turn.
The idea
Sıra can mean turn in a sequence. Sıra bende means it is my turn, while sıra sizde means it is your turn, politely or to several people. Ask Sıra kimde? for whose turn is it? In sıram geldi, the possessive ending identifies my turn.
Examples
- Sıra bende mi?Is it my turn?
- Şimdi sıra sizde.Now it is your turn.
- Sıra kimde acaba?Whose turn is it?
- Benim sıram geldi.My turn has come.
- Biraz daha beklemeliyiz.We need to wait a little longer.
- Sizin sıranız henüz gelmedi.Your turn has not come yet.

Watch out
Write locative bende together when it means with me or, here, my turn. Separate ben de means me too and is a different construction.
