Introduction

Asking questions is an essential part of communication in any language, including North Azerbaijani. Questions allow us to seek information, clarify details, and engage in meaningful conversations. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of questions in North Azerbaijani, such as yes/no questions, wh-questions, and tag questions. We will also learn how to form and use these questions in various contexts. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of how to ask questions in North Azerbaijani, enabling you to communicate more effectively with native speakers.

Yes/No Questions

Yes/no questions are questions that require a simple "yes" or "no" answer. In North Azerbaijani, these questions are formed by using the question particle "mi" at the end of a sentence. Let's look at some examples:

North Azerbaijani	Pronunciation	English
Sən gəlirsənmi?	Sən gəlirsənmi?	Are you coming?
O qızdırmı?	O qızdırmı?	Is she angry?
Biz dəvət alırıqmı?	Biz dəvət alırıqmı?	Are we invited?

As you can see, the question particle "mi" is added to the end of the sentence to indicate that it is a yes/no question. Pay attention to the word order in North Azerbaijani questions. The subject usually comes before the verb.

Now, let's practice forming yes/no questions. Try to translate the following sentences into North Azerbaijani:

1. Are you hungry? 2. Is it raining? 3. Did they arrive on time? 4. Will she come to the party? 5. Can you speak English?

Here are the correct translations:

1. Sən acıqsanmı? 2. Yağış yağırmı? 3. Onlar vaxtında gəldilərmi? 4. O partiya gələcəkmi? 5. Sən ingilis dilində danışa bilərsənmi?

Wh-Questions

Wh-questions are questions that begin with question words such as "who," "what," "where," "when," "why," and "how." In North Azerbaijani, these questions are formed by using the appropriate question word at the beginning of the sentence. Let's look at some examples:

North Azerbaijani	Pronunciation	English
Kim gəlir?	Kim gəlir?	Who is coming?
Nə oxuyursan?	Nə oxuyursan?	What are you reading?
Harada yaşayırsan?	Harada yaşayırsan?	Where do you live?

In wh-questions, the word order changes slightly. The question word comes at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the verb and the subject.

Now, let's practice forming wh-questions. Try to translate the following sentences into North Azerbaijani:

1. Where are you going? 2. Who is your best friend? 3. What time is the meeting? 4. How do you spell your name? 5. Why are you sad?

Here are the correct translations:

1. Haraya getmək istəyirsiniz? 2. Sizin ən yaxın dostunuz kimdir? 3. Toplantının saatı necədir? 4. Adınızı necə yazmaq lazımdır? 5. Niyə üzgünsünüz?

-As a North Azerbaijani language teacher with 20 years of experience, I want to help you learn how to ask questions correctly in North Azerbaijani. In this lesson, we will cover different types of questions, such as yes/no questions, wh-questions, and tag questions. We will also learn how to form and use negation in North Azerbaijani.
+== Introduction ==
+Asking questions is an essential part of communication in any language, including North Azerbaijani. Questions allow us to seek information, clarify details, and engage in meaningful conversations. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of questions in North Azerbaijani, such as yes/no questions, wh-questions, and tag questions.

+== Yes/No Questions ==
-==Yes/No Questions==
-Yes/no questions are the most common type of questions in North Azerbaijani. We use them to ask for confirmation or to get a simple answer of "yes" or "no" to a question. The structure of this type of question is straightforward: just switch the subject and the auxiliary verb.
+Yes/no questions are questions that require a simple "yes" or "no" answer. In North Azerbaijani, these questions are formed by using the question particle "mi" at the end of a sentence. Let's look at some examples:
-Here's an example:
+{| class="wikitable"
+! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| Sən gəlirsənmi? || Sən gəlirsənmi? || Are you coming?
+|-
+| O qızdırmı? || O qızdırmı? || Is she angry?
+|-
+| Biz dəvət alırıqmı? || Biz dəvət alırıqmı? || Are we invited?
+|}
-* Sentence: Mən kitab oxuyuram. (I am reading a book.)
+As you can see, the question particle "mi" is added to the end of the sentence to indicate that it is a yes/no question. Pay attention to the word order in North Azerbaijani questions. The subject usually comes before the verb.
-* Yes/No question: Kitab oxuyuramı? (Am I reading a book?)
-In the yes/no question format above, we add the particle "-mı" to the end of the sentence to indicate a question. The particle "-mi" is used for singular subjects, whereas the particle "-lar mı" is used for plural subjects, as in the example below:
+Now, let's practice forming yes/no questions. Try to translate the following sentences into North Azerbaijani:
-* Sentence: Siz kənddə yaşayırsınızmı? (You live in the countryside?)
+. Are you hungry?
+. Is it raining?
+. Did they arrive on time?
+. Will she come to the party?
+. Can you speak English?
-Note that the word order in the example above is different from the previous example. When forming questions with verbs that don't have auxiliary verbs, we use the auxiliary verb "olmaq" in the present tense.
+Here are the correct translations:
-Here's an example:
+. Sən acıqsanmı?
+. Yağış yağırmı?
+. Onlar vaxtında gəldilərmi?
+. O partiya gələcəkmi?
+. Sən ingilis dilində danışa bilərsənmi?
-* Sentence: Bura dükan var. (There is a store here.)
+== Wh-Questions ==
-* Yes/No question: Burada dükan var mı? (Is there a store here?)
-==Wh-Questions==
+Wh-questions are questions that begin with question words such as "who," "what," "where," "when," "why," and "how." In North Azerbaijani, these questions are formed by using the appropriate question word at the beginning of the sentence. Let's look at some examples:
-Wh-questions are used to ask for specific information. In North Azerbaijani, we use different question words (such as "kim" and "nə"), depending on the type of information we want.
+{| class="wikitable"
+! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
-Here are some common wh-question words:
+|-
+| Kim gəlir? || Kim gəlir? || Who is coming?
-* Kim: Who
+|-
-* Nə: What
+| Nə oxuyursan? || Nə oxuyursan? || What are you reading?
-* Hansı: Which
+|-
-* Necə: How
+| Harada yaşayırsan? || Harada yaşayırsan? || Where do you live?
-* Nəyə görə: Why
+|}
-* Harada: Where
-To form a wh-question, start with the question word and follow it with the subject and the rest of the sentence, as in the example below:
-* Question Word + Subject + Verb + Object
-* Hansı dükanda maraqlanırsınız? (Which store are you interested in?)
-In the example above, we use the question word "hansı" (which) to ask about a particular store. The rest of the sentence follows the typical SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) word order of North Azerbaijani.
-==Tag Questions==
-Tag questions are a type of question where a declarative statement is turned into a question by adding a question tag at the end. A question tag is a short question added to the end of a statement, turning it into a question.
-Here's an example:
-* Statement: Biz burada deyilik, doğru? (We are here, right?)
-* Tag question: Siz də buradasınız, yoxsa? (You're here too, aren't you?)
-In the example above, we use the tag question "yoxsa" to ask for confirmation that the other person is also present. Notice how the tag question starts with "yoxsa," which means "or" in English.
-==Negation==
-Negation is a way to express the negative form of a sentence. In North Azerbaijani, we use the particle "deyil" or "yox" to form negation.
+In wh-questions, the word order changes slightly. The question word comes at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the verb and the subject.
-Here are some examples:
+Now, let's practice forming wh-questions. Try to translate the following sentences into North Azerbaijani:
-* Positive sentence: Mən kitab oxuyuram. (I am reading a book.)
+. Where are you going?
-  * Negative sentence 1: Mən kitab oxumuram - (I am not reading a book.)
+. Who is your best friend?
-  * Negative sentence 2: Kitab oxumuram deyil. - (I am not reading a book.)
+. What time is the meeting?
+. How do you spell your name?
+. Why are you sad?
-As you can see above, we use "deyil" or "yox" after the verb to form a negative sentence in North Azerbaijani.
+Here are the correct translations:
-==Conclusion==
+. Haraya getmək istəyirsiniz?
+. Sizin ən yaxın dostunuz kimdir?
-You've learned about the different types of questions that can be asked in North Azerbaijani, including yes/no questions, wh-questions, and tag questions. You also learned how to use negation to form negative sentences. Keep practicing and try to use questions and negation in everyday conversations to master these concepts. Don't hesitate to ask your teacher for more examples and explanations, and remember to have fun while learning!
