"Which book are you reading?"
Translation:Hangi kitabı okuyorsunuz?

As soon as you say "which book" you are asking about a specific book. For this reason, it is in accusative :)
Fist off, you would have to use "siz" in this sentence because of the verb ending. You have two places where it could go, depending on what you want to say.
"Siz hangi kitabı okuyorsunuz" would be the neutral way to ask (stressing "which book") "Hangi kitabı siz okuyorsunuz" stresses "you." (Which book are YOU reading [as opposed to me or them])

Thank you!
Would that emphasis distinction brought by a different word order work the same way in a declarative sentence?
what is the right answer of "Which book are you reading?" Hangi kitabı okuyorsunuz you are reading? or Hangi kitabı okuyorsun. both shows wrong answer, how can it possible?

I am getting really annoyed with these sen and siz mistakes, how can i conclude from the english sentence which is which when both siz and sen is you in english.
