    Neyi is the accusative form of the word Ne

    some examples;
    - Neyi beğenmedin? What haven't you liked?
    - Bu arabayı beğenmedim. I did not like this car.

    ***There are some verbs that requires to add accusative suffix ı/i to the objects in the sentence. And beğenmek is one of them. And there are some verbs that is okay to use with or without this suffix- when you use it works like "the" in English, when you don't add, it means the object is not certain.

    Çocuğu gördüm. I saw the kid.
    (Bir) Çocuk gördüm. I saw a kid. ---> either you say bir or not the sentence means the same.

    actually same things :)
    but neyi is more specific ....

     

    I'm learning and battling with this as well. Is not ''neyi'' the accusative form (direct object form) of ''ne''?

    NE:

    She picked flower for her mum. ( O, annesi için çiçek topladı.) Ne topladı? Çiçek.(Flower's mission in Turkish grammar no symptom object)

    NEYİ:

    She gave flowers to her mum. ( O, çiçekleri annesine verdi.) Neyi verdi? Çiçekleri.
    (Flowers's mission in Turkish grammar symptom object)
