== Basic Questions ==
Let's start with some basic questions. In Kashmiri language, there are different ways to ask a question depending on the context.
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Kashmiri !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| क्याह॒ aah || kya-ha || What is this?
|-
| चेकि? || cheki? || What?
|-
| चुयॊच्याव aav-she-sa-neh? || chuyochyav? || How much?
|-
| कृजर्याव? || kuj-yar-yav? || What to do?
|-
| कृज नेह? || kuj- neh? || What happened?
|}
 
'''Example''':
* Person 1: क्याह॒? (What is this?)
* Person 2: यलि ब्येन् (This is a pen)
 
'''Tip''': To continue improving your [[Language/Kashmiri|Kashmiri]] language skills, you can also use the [https://polyglotclub.com Polyglot Club] website. [https://polyglotclub.com/find-friends.php?search=send&d=0&f=36&offre1=65 Find native speakers] and ask them any [https://polyglotclub.com/language/kashmiri/question questions]!
 
== Yes/No Questions ==
 
Yes/No questions in Kashmiri can often be formed simply by raising the intonation at the end of a statement. Here are some examples:


=== Yes/No Questions ===
{| class="wikitable"
Yes/no questions are used to ask for a simple yes or no answer. They are formed by using the auxiliary verb 'hay' (हे) at the beginning of the sentence. For example:
! Kashmiri !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| उहि ग॒छैःद॒|uhi gachhidah? || Did he/she go?
|-
| अ॒सि॒ म॒चुय तॊरुख?turu || Are you hungry?
|-
| अयि ख्वाब || ayi khwaab? || Is this a dream?
|-
| उन्दॊ उमिडोसॊडॊइड||(ondai umidasorda?) || Is this your book?
|}


* Hay tu kyaa? (हे तू क्या?) - Do you know?
'''Example''':
* Hay tu kahaa? (हे तू कहा?) - Where are you?
* Person 1: अ॒सि॒ म॒चुय तॊरुख? (Are you hungry?)
* Person 2: नह, म॒दयॊख। (No, I'm not hungry)


=== Wh-Questions ===
== Question Words ==
Wh-questions are used to ask for more detailed information. They are formed by using the interrogative pronouns 'kyaa' (क्या), 'kahaa' (कहा), 'kaisee' (कैसी), 'kab' (कब) and 'kyon' (क्यों) at the beginning of the sentence. For example:


* Kyaa tu jaantaa hai? (क्या तू जानता है?) - Do you know?
Kashmiri, like many other languages, has specific question words that are used when asking various types of questions. Let's take a look at some of the most common ones:
* Kahaa tu jaanaa chaahataa hai? (कहा तू जाना चाहता है?) - Where do you want to go?
* Kaisee hai tu? (कैसी है तू?) - How are you?
* Kab tu aanaa chaahataa hai? (कब तू आना चाहता है?) - When do you want to come?
* Kyon tu jaanaa chaahataa hai? (क्यों तू जाना चाहता है?) - Why do you want to go?


== Other Ways to Ask Questions ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Kashmiri !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| क्याह॒ aah || kya-ha || What?
|-
| कृज ।ड़॒|kuj gard? || Where?
|-
| कृज म॒तॊवं ।ड़॒| kuj mot'vun gard? || Where is the bathroom?
|-
| कृज आ॒पिशियह॒रै || kuj aapishiyahrai? || When?
|-
| कृज॒चि॒ प्रास|| kujachi praas? || How?
|-
| कृज फ़ैसॊल? || kuj faisul? || Why?
|}


In addition to the two main types of questions, there are other ways to ask questions in Kashmiri.
'''Example''':
* Person 1: कृजে॒चि प्रासॊ ? (How?)
* Person 2: आसान ,।यीसी साती यॊगतॊ। (Easy, this is suitable for you)


=== Tag Questions ===
== Indirect Questions ==
Tag questions are used to confirm something that has been said. They are formed by adding the auxiliary verb 'hay' (हे) at the end of the sentence. For example:


* Tu jaantaa hai, hay? (तू जानता है, हे?) - You know, right?
Indirect questions in Kashmiri are formed by using the word question first and then the actual question in the sentence. Here are some examples:
* Tu aanaa chaahataa hai, hay? (तू आना चाहता है, हे?) - You want to come, don't you?


=== Rising Intonation ===
{| class="wikitable"
Rising intonation is used to make a statement sound like a question. It is formed by raising the pitch of your voice at the end of the sentence. For example:
! Kashmiri !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| क्याह॒ उनुखॊउस शॊलॊह ? || kya-ha unukhus sholoha? || Can you tell me what this is?
|-
| रॊयॊमन नॊकर चॊचि संभवॊरै? || royuman nokar choci sambhavorai? || Do you know where the employee is?
|-
| कृज करुनयेह सॊरह खुश्यॊमडॊइंडॊ? || kuj karunyeh sorah khushyomdoinde? || Could you ask them when they will arrive?
|}


* Tu jaantaa hai? (तू जानता है?) - Do you know?
'''Example''':
* Tu aanaa chaahataa hai? (तू आना चाहता है?) - Do you want to come?
* Person 1: क्याह॒ उनुखॊउस शॊलॊह ? (Can you tell me what this is?)
* Person 2: यह।, वोह एक पें है (Yes, that's a pen.)
