Hi Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) learners! 😊<br>In today's lesson, we will be learning how to ask questions in Interlingua. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and Interlingua is no exception. We will be looking at the different types of questions, as well as the grammar rules that govern them. By the end of this lesson, you should have a good understanding of how to ask questions in Interlingua.  
 
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/interlingua-international-auxiliary-language-association Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association)] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will learn how to ask questions in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association). Asking questions is an essential part of communication, and we will explore the basic question words and structures in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association).
 
__TOC__
__TOC__
== Types of Questions ==
There are two main types of questions in Interlingua: yes/no questions and wh-questions.


=== Yes/No Questions ===
== Basic question words ==
Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with either a "yes" or a "no". These questions typically begin with a verb, such as "es", "ha", or "va". For example:  
In Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association), question words play a crucial role in forming questions. Here are the main interrogative words:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Qui || /ki/ || Who
|-
| Que || /ke/ || What
|-
| Ubi || /u.bi/ || Where
|-
| Quando || /kwɑn.do/ || When
|-
| Quomodo || /ko.mo.do/ || How
|-
| Proquoi || /pro.kwɑj/ || Why
|}
 
For example, if you want to ask someone's name, you will use the interrogative word "Qui." The basic question structure in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) is Subject-Verb-Object, and when you're using a question word, the structure changes to Question word-Verb-Subject(whatever you want to know).
 
Let's see a few examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Qui es tu? || /ki ɛs tu/ || Who are you?
|-
| Que tu face? || /ke tu fɑs/ || What are you doing?
|-
| Ubi es le bagage? || /u.bi ɛs lɛ ba.gɑʒ/ || Where is the luggage?
|-
| Quando tu arriba? || /kwɑn.do tu ɑ.rivɑ/ || When are you arriving?
|-
| Quomodo es tu? || /ko.mo.do ɛs tu/ || How are you?
|-
| Proquoi tu es ici? || /pro.kwɑj tu ɛs i.si/ || Why are you here?
|}
 
As you see, the question word comes first, followed by the verb, and then the subject or the thing you want to know. "Es" is the present tense of the verb "to be" in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association).
 
== Yes/No questions ==
Yes/No questions are questions that can be answered with "yes" or "no." In Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association), yes/no questions are formed by inverting the word order of the subject and the verb:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Tu es francese? || /tu ɛs frɑn.ˈʧɛz/ || Are you French?
|-
| Illo ha moneta? || /ˈil.lo ha mo.ˈne.ta/ || Does he have money?
|-
| Tu comprende? || /tu kɔ̃.ˈprɛn.dɛ/ || Do you understand?
|}
 
== Exercise ==
Let's do a small exercise to see if you have understood the basic question words and structures:
 
Fill in the blanks:


* Es tu contente? (Are you happy?)  
1. _______ es tu nom? (What is your name?)
* Ha tu un fratre? (Do you have a brother?)  
2. _______ tu habita in Francia? (Do you live in France?)
* Va tu al scola? (Are you going to school?)  
3. _______ es le problem? (What is the problem?)
4. _______ es tu anniversario? (When is your birthday?)
5. _______ va al cinema? (Who is going to the cinema?)


=== Wh-Questions ===
(Hint: Use the table of basic question words above!)
Wh-questions are questions that require more information than just a "yes" or a "no". These questions typically begin with a wh-word, such as "qui", "quo", or "quando". For example:  


* Qui es tu? (Who are you?)  
== Culture and Fun Facts ==
* Quo tu face? (What are you doing?)  
Did you know that Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) was created by the International Auxiliary Language Association (IALA) in the 1950s? The goal was to create a simplified global language based on the commonalities between Romance languages. It is designed to be easy to learn and to allow people from different linguistic backgrounds to communicate with each other. Therefore, if you speak a Romance language, Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) will be easy to learn and understand.
* Quando tu va al scola? (When are you going to school?)


== Grammar Rules ==
Another interesting fact is that Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) is considered a natural language because it follows the structures and rules of other natural languages, making it easier to learn for most people.
When asking questions in Interlingua, there are a few grammar rules that you should keep in mind.  


* When asking yes/no questions, the verb comes first.  
Did you know that you can also use the [https://polyglotclub.com Polyglot Club] website to improve your Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) [https://polyglotclub.com/language/interlingua-international-auxiliary-language-association/Grammar Grammar]?

* When asking wh-questions, the wh-word comes first.  
* The subject of the question always follows the verb or wh-word.  
* The verb must be conjugated to match the subject.  


For example:  
== Dialogue ==
Let's have a short dialogue to see some of the previous examples in action:


* Es ille contente? (Is he happy?)  
* Person 1: Qui es tu? (Who are you?)
* Qui es ille? (Who is he?)  
* Person 2: Io es Maria, e tu? (I am Maria, and you?)
* Person 1: Io es Juan. Ubi tu habita? (I am Juan. Where do you live?)
* Person 2: Io habita in America, e tu? (I live in America, and you?)
* Person 1: Io habita in Europa. Quando tu veni hic? (I live in Europe. When are you coming here?)
* Person 2: Io veni le ma. (I am coming on Monday.)

Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) Grammar - Questions

Hi Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to ask questions in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association). Asking questions is an essential part of communication, and we will explore the basic question words and structures in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association).

Basic question words

In Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association), question words play a crucial role in forming questions. Here are the main interrogative words:

Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) Pronunciation English
Qui /ki/ Who
Que /ke/ What
Ubi /u.bi/ Where
Quando /kwɑn.do/ When
Quomodo /ko.mo.do/ How
Proquoi /pro.kwɑj/ Why

For example, if you want to ask someone's name, you will use the interrogative word "Qui." The basic question structure in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) is Subject-Verb-Object, and when you're using a question word, the structure changes to Question word-Verb-Subject(whatever you want to know).

Let's see a few examples:

Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) Pronunciation English
Qui es tu? /ki ɛs tu/ Who are you?
Que tu face? /ke tu fɑs/ What are you doing?
Ubi es le bagage? /u.bi ɛs lɛ ba.gɑʒ/ Where is the luggage?
Quando tu arriba? /kwɑn.do tu ɑ.rivɑ/ When are you arriving?
Quomodo es tu? /ko.mo.do ɛs tu/ How are you?
Proquoi tu es ici? /pro.kwɑj tu ɛs i.si/ Why are you here?

As you see, the question word comes first, followed by the verb, and then the subject or the thing you want to know. "Es" is the present tense of the verb "to be" in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association).

Yes/No questions

Yes/No questions are questions that can be answered with "yes" or "no." In Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association), yes/no questions are formed by inverting the word order of the subject and the verb:

Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) Pronunciation English
Tu es francese? /tu ɛs frɑn.ˈʧɛz/ Are you French?
Illo ha moneta? /ˈil.lo ha mo.ˈne.ta/ Does he have money?
Tu comprende? /tu kɔ̃.ˈprɛn.dɛ/ Do you understand?

Exercise

Let's do a small exercise to see if you have understood the basic question words and structures:

Fill in the blanks:

1. _______ es tu nom? (What is your name?) 2. _______ tu habita in Francia? (Do you live in France?) 3. _______ es le problem? (What is the problem?) 4. _______ es tu anniversario? (When is your birthday?) 5. _______ va al cinema? (Who is going to the cinema?)

(Hint: Use the table of basic question words above!)

Culture and Fun Facts

Did you know that Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) was created by the International Auxiliary Language Association (IALA) in the 1950s? The goal was to create a simplified global language based on the commonalities between Romance languages. It is designed to be easy to learn and to allow people from different linguistic backgrounds to communicate with each other.
