Hi Sinhala learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing how to ask questions in Sinhala. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and it can be tricky to get the grammar right. But don't worry, by the end of this lesson you'll have a good understanding of how to ask questions in Sinhala.
Basic Question Structure
The basic structure for asking questions in Sinhala is quite simple. All you need to do is add the particle ඔයා (oya) at the end of the sentence. For example:
- ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (Where are you going?)
- ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (What are you doing?)
Yes/No Questions
Yes/no questions are also quite easy to form in Sinhala. All you need to do is add the particle දැයි (dayi) at the end of the sentence. For example:
- ඔබ මෙම ක්‍රියාව කරන්න දැයි? (Are you going to do this?)
- ඔබ මෙම ප්‍රශ්න සත්‍ය දැයි? (Is this answer correct?)
Wh-Questions
Wh-questions are a bit more complicated than yes/no questions, as they require the use of question words. The most common question words in Sinhala are කෙසේ (kesse), කොට (kota), කොටස් (kotas), කෙනෙක් (kenek), කෙන්ද (kenda), කෙනෙකු (keneku), කෙන්දු (kendu), කෙන්පත් (kenpath), කෙන්ඩිය (kendiy), කෙන්ඩ් (kend) and කෙන්ඩා (kenda).
For example:
- කෙසේ ඔබ දැන් ඔයා? (Where are you?)
- කොට ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (What are you going?)
- කොටස් ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (Why are you going?)
- කෙනෙක් ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (When are you going?)
- කෙන්ද ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (Where are you going?)
- කෙනෙකු ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (Who are you going with?)
- කෙන්දු ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (How are you going?)
- කෙන්පත් ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (What are you taking?)
- කෙන්ඩිය ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (Which way are you going?)
- කෙන්ඩ් ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (How long are you going?)
- කෙන්ඩා ඔබ කෙටියෙන් දැන් ඔයා? (How often are you going?)
That's it for today's lesson! We hope you now have a good understanding of how to ask questions in Sinhala.
