Hi Telugu learners! 😊<br>In today's lesson, we will be discussing how to ask questions in Telugu. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and it is essential to understand the rules of grammar when forming questions in Telugu. We will look at the different types of questions, as well as the different ways to form them.
__TOC__
== Types of Questions ==
There are two main types of questions in Telugu: yes/no questions and wh-questions.


=== Yes/No Questions ===
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/telugu Telugu] learners! 😊<br>
Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. These questions usually begin with a verb, such as "do", "can", "will", etc. For example:
In this lesson, we will focus on questions in Telugu grammar. Asking questions is a fundamental part of any language learning process. It enables you to find answers to your queries and improve your comprehension skills. So, let's get started!<br>


* Do you understand?

* Can you speak Telugu?
* Will you help me?


=== Wh-Questions ===
Wh-questions are questions that require more information than just a yes or no answer. These questions usually begin with a wh-word, such as "what", "where", "when", "why", "who", etc. For example:

Before we dive into the sentence structure of questions, let's start with some basic question words in Telugu.

== Forming Questions ==
{| class="wikitable"
When forming questions in Telugu, there are a few rules to keep in mind.
! Telugu !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| ఎవరు (Evaru) || ev-aru || Who
|-
| ఏమి (Emi) || em-i || What
|-
| ఎలా (Ela) || el-a || How
|-
| ఎక్కడ (Ekkada) || ek-ka-da || Where
|-
| ఎన్ని (Enni) || en-ni || How Many
|-
| ఎందుకు (Enduku) || en-du-ku || Why
|-
| ఎదురు (Eduru) || e-du-ru || In front of
|}


* The verb comes first in the sentence.
= Sentence Structure =
* The subject follows the verb.  
In Telugu, the basic sentence structure of questions remains the same as in affirmative (positive) sentences. The only difference is the use of question words and intonation.
* The object follows the subject.
* The question word comes at the beginning of the sentence.  


For example:  
For instance, let's take the following statement: "నేను ఊహించాను" (Nenu oohinchana), which means "I think".


* నీకు తెలుగు మాట్లాడాలి? (Do you understand Telugu?)
To turn it into a question, you simply need to add a question word at the beginning and a question mark at the end. Here are some examples:
* నీకు ఎక్కడ ఉంటుంది? (Where are you?)
* నీకు ఎవరైనా తెలుగు మాట్లాడింది? (Who taught you Telugu?)


== Conclusion ==
{| class="wikitable"
Asking questions in Telugu is an important part of learning the language. By understanding the different types of questions and the rules for forming them, you will be able to communicate more effectively in Telugu.
