==Introduction==
== Introduction ==
 
In this lesson, we will delve into the intricacies of forming questions and negations in Central Kurdish. Mastering these aspects of the language is crucial for effective communication and understanding in everyday conversations. By asking questions, you can gather information, clarify doubts, and engage in meaningful discussions. Negations, on the other hand, allow you to express doubt, disagreement, or denial. In this lesson, we will explore the various ways to form questions and negations in Central Kurdish, providing you with the necessary tools to express yourself confidently. Let's get started!
 
== Forming Questions ==
 
Asking questions is an essential skill in any language, and Central Kurdish is no exception. To form questions in Central Kurdish, you generally have two options: using question words or changing the word order. Let's explore each method in detail.
 
=== 1. Using Question Words ===
 
Question words play a crucial role in forming questions. They are used to ask for specific information about people, things, places, time, and more. Here are some common question words in Central Kurdish:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Central Kurdish !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| که‌یه‌ || keye || Who
|-
| چێوە || chewe || What
|-
| لەکانی || lekani || Where
|-
| کام || kam || How many
|-
| کاتێک || katek || When
|-
| چاوەڕێیەک || chawaraye || Why
|-
| ئەوەی || awe || How
|}
 
To form a question using question words, simply place the question word at the beginning of the sentence. Here are a few examples:
 
* که‌یه‌ نووسیوتە ؟ (keye nawusyote?) - Who is writing?
* چێوە دەکەیت ؟ (chewe dekayet?) - What are you doing?
* لەکانی خواردنێكت ؟ (lekani khwardaneke?) - Where are you studying?
* کام پارێزگایەك هەیە ؟ (kam parezgayek heye?) - How many siblings do you have?
* کاتێک دەردەکەیت ؟ (katek derdekayet?) - When do you wake up?
* چاوەڕێیەک بۆم ؟ (chawaraye bo'm?) - Why for me?
* ئەوەی دەبێت ؟ (awe debet?) - How does it work?
 
=== 2. Changing the Word Order ===
 
Another way to form questions in Central Kurdish is by changing the word order. In this method, you invert the subject and verb of a sentence to make it a question. Here's an example:
 
* ئێستا خواردن دەکەیت. (Estay khwardan dekayet.) - You are studying now.
* خواردن ئێستا دەکەیت ؟ (Khwardan estay dekayet?) - Are you studying now?
 
By changing the word order, you can transform a statement into a question. This method is particularly useful when you don't have a specific question word to use.
 
== Forming Negations ==


Welcome to the lesson "Questions and Negations" of our "Complete 0 to A1 Central Kurdish Course". In this lesson, you will learn how to form questions and negations in Central Kurdish. Questions and negations are essential elements of any language, as they enable communication flow and express nuance in conversation.
Negations allow you to express doubt, disagreement, or denial. In Central Kurdish, negations are formed using the word "نا" (na) before the verb. Let's explore this in more detail.


As we progress through this lesson, we will explore different question forms and negation structures, along with examples and cultural notes. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to ask for information, express doubt, and negate statements in the Kurdish language.
=== 1. Negative Statements ===


To form a negative statement in Central Kurdish, simply place the word "نا" (na) before the verb. Here are a few examples:


<span link>Finish this lesson and explore these related pages: [[Language/Central-kurdish/Grammar/Pronouns|Pronouns]] & [[Language/Central-kurdish/Grammar/How-to-Use-Be|How to Use Be]].</span>
* من ئێستا کتێب نووسم. (Min estay kitêb nûsim.) - I am writing a book now.
==Forming Questions==
* من ئێستا کتێب نووسمەوە. (Min estay kitêb nûsemau.) - I am not writing a book now.


Asking questions is a fundamental communication skill. In Central Kurdish, we can form questions in several ways. Here are some common question forms:
By adding "نا" (na) before the verb, you negate the action or state described in the sentence.


===Question Words===
=== 2. Negative Questions ===


Question words are words that are used to ask for specific information. They are placed at the beginning of the sentence to form a question. Here are some of the most common question words in Central Kurdish:
Negating a question in Central Kurdish is slightly different from forming negative statements. In negative questions, you place "نا" (na) before the question word or the verb. Here are a few examples:


<table class="wikitable">
* ناکه‌یه‌ نووسیوتە ؟ (Nakeye nawusyote?) - Aren't you writing?
  <tr>
* ناچێوە دەکەیت ؟ (Nachewe dekayet?) - What aren't you doing?
    <th>Central Kurdish</th>
* نالەکانی خواردنێكت ؟ (Nalekani khwardaneke?) - Where aren't you studying?
    <th>Pronunciation</th>
* ناکام پارێزگایەك هەیە ؟ (Nakam parezgayek heye?) - How many siblings don't you have?
    <th>English</th>
* ناکاتێک دەردەکەیت ؟ (Nakatek derdekayet?) - When don't you wake up?
  </tr>
* ناچاوەڕێیەک بۆم ؟ (Nachawaraye bo'm?) - Why not for me?
  <tr>
* نائەوەی دەبێت ؟ (Naawe debet?) - How doesn't it work?
    <td>که‌? (ka?)</td>
    <td>[ka]</td>
    <td>Who?</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>چی (chî?)</td>
    <td>[t͡ʃiː]</td>
    <td>What?</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>کام (kam?)</td>
    <td>[kam]</td>
    <td>How many?</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>کەم (kam?)</td>
    <td>[kæm]</td>
    <td>How?</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>کێفا (kefa?)</td>
    <td>[keːfa]</td>
    <td>How?</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>چەرا (çera?)</td>
    <td>[t͡ʃɛra]</td>
    <td>Why?</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>لە کوێیە? (le koye?)</td>
    <td>[le koje]</td>
    <td>Where?</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>کاتێک (katêk?)</td>
    <td>[kaːteːk]</td>
    <td>When?</td>
  </tr>
</table>


For example:
By placing "نا" (na) before the question word or the verb, you create a negative question.
<ul>
<li><b>کەم خوشبویەت هەیە؟ (kam xwêşebûyeta heye?)</b> - How many colors are there?</li>
<li><b>کەشی هاتووە؟ (keşî hatûwe?)</b> - How did you come?</li>
<li><b>چی دەکات؟ (chî dekat?)</b> - What are you doing?</li>
</ul>


===Using the Verb لەڵێ (lelê)===
== Cultural Insights ==


Another question form is to use the auxiliary verb "لەڵێ (lelê)" which means "Did?". To form a question using this method, simply add "لەڵێ (lelê)" before the verb.
The formation of questions and negations in Central Kurdish is influenced by the rich cultural heritage of the Kurdish people. In Kurdish-speaking regions, asking questions is seen as a way to show interest and engage in meaningful conversations. Kurdish culture values curiosity and encourages individuals to seek knowledge and understanding. Moreover, the use of negations in Kurdish language reflects the cautious and skeptical nature of the Kurdish people. Expressing doubt and disagreement is considered a sign of critical thinking and intellectual independence. By understanding the cultural context behind questions and negations in Central Kurdish, you can better appreciate the nuances of the language and connect with Kurdish speakers on a deeper level.


For example:
== Practice Exercises ==


<ul>
Now, let's put your knowledge of forming questions and negations in Central Kurdish to the test. Complete the following exercises, and then check your answers.
<li><b>لەڵێ گۆشە هەڵگیرێت؟ (Lelê goşe helgiret?)</b> - Did the paper tear?</li>
<li><b>لەڵێ دەکەی؟ (Lelê dekey?)</b> - Are you doing?</li>
</ul>


==Negation==
=== Exercise 1 ===


Negation refers to the statement of the opposite of an affirmative sentence. In Central Kurdish, we can use several methods to create negative sentences.
Form questions using the given question words:


===Using the Word نا (nā)===
* Example: چێوە - __چێوە دەکەیت؟__ (chewe dekayet?) - What are you doing?
* که‌یه‌ -
* لەکانی -
* کام -
* کاتێک -
* چاوەڕێیەک -
* ئەوەی -


The word 'نا (nā)' can be added to the verb or the adjective to make it negative.
=== Exercise 2 ===


For example:
Form negative statements by negating the verbs:


<ul>
* Example: من ئێستا کتێب نووسمەوە. - __من ئێستا کتێب نووسم.__ (Min estay kitêb nûsim.) - I am writing a book.
<li><b>ناوم لە دێڕێ ڕێزدراوە (nawm le dêre rêzdrewa)</b> - I did not go to the village.</li>
* من ئێستا خواب نووسم.
<li><b>فێری ناوت لە ئارەزووی بادەست (Fêrî nawait le arezowy badeşt)</b> - Your friend did not come to the wedding party.</li>
* ئێوە ئێستا خۆشترین کارمەوە دەکات.
</ul>
* ئێوە هێشت دەڵێنێت.
* ئێوە هێنانیشان دەوێنێت.
* ئێوە فەرمی کۆڕۆنا دەکان.
* ئێوە بڵێنەدانیشان دەکان.


===Using the Word بە (ba) or نە (ne)===
=== Exercise 3 ===


The words "بە (ba)" meaning "without" or "نە (ne)" meaning "not" can also be added to the sentence to create negations.
Form negative questions by negating the question words or the verbs:


For example:
* Example: چێوە دەکەیت ؟ - __ناچێوە دەکەیت ؟__ (Nachewe dekayet?) - What aren't you doing?
* که‌یه‌ نووسیوتە ؟
* لەکانی خواردنێكت ؟
* کام پارێزگایەك هەیە ؟
* کاتێک دەردەکەیت ؟
* چاوەڕێیەک بۆم ؟
* ئەوەی دەبێت ؟


<ul>
== Solutions ==
<li><b>من بەشدار نەبووم (Min başdar nebuwem)</b> - I did not participate.</li>
<li><b>کەسێک بە کار نەکرد (Kesek ba kar nekird)</b> - Somebody did not work.</li>
</ul>


===Verb-form changes===
=== Exercise 1 ===


In some cases, the negation of the sentence may require changes in the verb-form.
* که‌یه‌ - __که‌یه‌ نووسیوتە ؟__ (keye nawusyote?) - Who is writing?
* لەکانی - __لەکانی خواردنێكت ؟__ (lekani khwardaneke?) - Where are you studying?
* کام - __کام پارێزگایەك هەیە ؟__ (kam parezgayek heye?) - How many siblings do you have?
* کاتێک - __کاتێک دەردەکەیت ؟__ (katek derdekayet?) - When do you wake up?
* چاوەڕێیەک - __چاوەڕێیەک بۆم ؟__ (chawaraye bo'm?) - Why for me?
* ئەوەی - __ئەوەی دەبێت ؟__ (awe debet?) - How does it work?


For example:
=== Exercise 2 ===


<ul>
* من ئێستا خواب نووسمەوە. - __من ئێستا خواب نووسم.__ (Min estay khwab nûsim.) - I am not writing a dream.
<li><b>من نەدۆزراوم (Min nedozrawem)</b> - I did not sleep.</li>
* ئێوە ئێستا خۆشترین کارمەوە دەکات. - __ئێوە ئێستا خۆشترین کارمەوە نادەکات.__ (Ewe estay khoshterin karmewa nakat.) - They are not doing their best work now.
<li><b>ئەو بەردەست نییە (Ew berdest nîye)</b> - He is not ready.</li>
* ئێوە هێشت دەڵێنێت. - __ئێوە هێشت نادەڵێنێت.__ (Ewe hawisht na-dellenet.) - They don't eat meat.
</ul>
* ئێوە هێنانیشان دەوێنێت. - __ئێوە هێنانیشان نادەوێنێت.__ (Ewe henanishan na-dewenent.) - They don't have their pictures.
* ئێوە فەرمی کۆڕۆنا دەکان. - __ئێوە فەرمی کۆڕۆنا نادەکان.__ (Ewe ferma korona na-dakan.) - They don't cultivate corn.
* ئێوە بڵێنەدانیشان دەکان. - __ئێوە بڵێنەدانیشان نادەکان.__ (Ewe belendanishan na-dakan.) - They don't understand them.

Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will delve into the intricacies of forming questions and negations in Central Kurdish. Mastering these aspects of the language is crucial for effective communication and understanding in everyday conversations. By asking questions, you can gather information, clarify doubts, and engage in meaningful discussions. Negations, on the other hand, allow you to express doubt, disagreement, or denial. In this lesson, we will explore the various ways to form questions and negations in Central Kurdish, providing you with the necessary tools to express yourself confidently. Let's get started!

Forming Questions[edit | edit source]

Asking questions is an essential skill in any language, and Central Kurdish is no exception. To form questions in Central Kurdish, you generally have two options: using question words or changing the word order. Let's explore each method in detail.

1. Using Question Words[edit | edit source]

Question words play a crucial role in forming questions. They are used to ask for specific information about people, things, places, time, and more. Here are some common question words in Central Kurdish:

Central Kurdish Pronunciation English Translation
که‌یه‌ keye Who
چێوە chewe What
لەکانی lekani Where
کام kam How many
کاتێک katek When
چاوەڕێیەک chawaraye Why
ئەوەی awe How

To form a question using question words, simply place the question word at the beginning of the sentence. Here are a few examples:

  • که‌یه‌ نووسیوتە ؟ (keye nawusyote?) - Who is writing?
  • چێوە دەکەیت ؟ (chewe dekayet?) - What are you doing?
  • لەکانی خواردنێكت ؟ (lekani khwardaneke?) - Where are you studying?
  • کام پارێزگایەك هەیە ؟ (kam parezgayek heye?) - How many siblings do you have?
  • کاتێک دەردەکەیت ؟ (katek derdekayet?) - When do you wake up?
  • چاوەڕێیەک بۆم ؟ (chawaraye bo'm?) - Why for me?
  • ئەوەی دەبێت ؟ (awe debet?) - How does it work?

2. Changing the Word Order[edit | edit source]

Another way to form questions in Central Kurdish is by changing the word order. In this method, you invert the subject and verb of a sentence to make it a question. Here's an example:

  • ئێستا خواردن دەکەیت. (Estay khwardan dekayet.) - You are studying now.
  • خواردن ئێستا دەکەیت ؟ (Khwardan estay dekayet?) - Are you studying now?

By changing the word order, you can transform a statement into a question. This method is particularly useful when you don't have a specific question word to use.

Forming Negations[edit | edit source]

Negations allow you to express doubt, disagreement, or denial. In Central Kurdish, negations are formed using the word "نا" (na) before the verb. Let's explore this in more detail.

1. Negative Statements[edit | edit source]

To form a negative statement in Central Kurdish, simply place the word "نا" (na) before the verb. Here are a few examples:

  • من ئێستا کتێب نووسم. (Min estay kitêb nûsim.) - I am writing a book now.
  • من ئێستا کتێب نووسمەوە. (Min estay kitêb nûsemau.) - I am not writing a book now.

By adding "نا" (na) before the verb, you negate the action or state described in the sentence.

2. Negative Questions[edit | edit source]

Negating a question in Central Kurdish is slightly different from forming negative statements. In negative questions, you place "نا" (na) before the question word or the verb. Here are a few examples:

  • ناکه‌یه‌ نووسیوتە ؟ (Nakeye nawusyote?) - Aren't you writing?
  • ناچێوە دەکەیت ؟ (Nachewe dekayet?) - What aren't you doing?
  • نالەکانی خواردنێكت ؟ (Nalekani khwardaneke?) - Where aren't you studying?
  • ناکام پارێزگایەك هەیە ؟ (Nakam parezgayek heye?) - How many siblings don't you have?
  • ناکاتێک دەردەکەیت ؟ (Nakatek derdekayet?) - When don't you wake up?
  • ناچاوەڕێیەک بۆم ؟ (Nachawaraye bo'm?) - Why not for me?
  • نائەوەی دەبێت ؟ (Naawe debet?) - How doesn't it work?

By placing "نا" (na) before the question word or the verb, you create a negative question.

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

The formation of questions and negations in Central Kurdish is influenced by the rich cultural heritage of the Kurdish people.
