<h1>Introduction</h1>
=== Structure of the Lesson ===


In this lesson, you will learn how to form questions in Sindhi. Asking questions is essential in any language, especially when you are trying to communicate with others. You will learn how to form both yes/no and information questions, as well as the appropriate ways to use them in conversations.
1. Introduction to Question Formation


<h2>Yes/No Questions</h2>
2. Yes/No Questions


Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" response. In Sindhi, yes/no questions can be formed by adding the question particle "جي" at the end of a statement.
3. Information Questions


For example:

== Introduction to Question Formation ==
 
In Sindhi, forming questions can be both straightforward and nuanced. Questions help us to engage in dialogue, seek clarifications, and express our thoughts and needs. Understanding how to form questions is particularly important for beginners as it opens the door to meaningful conversations.
 
In this section, we will cover two main types of questions: '''yes/no questions''' and '''information questions'''. Each type has its own structure and nuances, and we'll dive into examples and explanations to make these concepts clear.
 
=== Yes/No Questions ===
 
Yes/no questions are designed to elicit a simple "yes" or "no" response. In Sindhi, these questions often begin with a verb or an auxiliary verb. Let’s look at the structure and some examples.
 
==== Structure of Yes/No Questions ====
 
* The verb typically comes at the beginning of the sentence.
 
* A question marker, such as "آهي" (ahi - is), may be used.
 
Here are some examples to illustrate this:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| تون اهڻي آهيو? جي. || Toon ahni aaheyo? Ji. || Are you coming? Yes.
 
| ڇا توھان خوش آھيو؟ || chha tohaan khush aahiyo? || Are you happy?
 
|-
 
| اوھان کي خبر آهي؟ || ohan khe khabar aahi? || Do you know?
 
|-
|-
| تو آگهي ڏي؟ جي. || To agaheyo de? Ji. || Did you give the information? Yes.
 
| اھو سچ آهي؟ || uho sach aahi? || Is that true?
 
|-
|-
| اوهان منهنجي کتاب ڇپيوندسان؟ جي. || Ohan munhje kitaab chapiyundesan? Ji. || Did they copy my book? Yes.
 
| توھان سچ پيا ڳالھائين؟ || tohaan sach piya galhain? || Are you really talking?
 
|-
|-
| موھنجي ڦڻ کٽو ؟ نه. || Mohanji phann kutto? Na. || Is my dog dead? No.
 
| ڇا اوھان وٽ ڪتاب آهي؟ || chha ohan vat kitaab aahi? || Do you have a book?
 
|}
|}


As you can see from the examples above, the word "جي" can be used to form a yes/no question. It is placed at the end of the statement and indicates that the speaker is seeking a confirmation or negation from the listener.  
As you can see, the structure is quite simple, and the key is to remember to start with the verb. This pattern will help you form yes/no questions with ease.


<h2>Information Questions</h2>
=== Information Questions ===


Information questions are questions that seek specific details or information from the listener. In Sindhi, these types of questions can be formed in a variety of ways based on the question word used.
Information questions, also known as "wh- questions," are used when you need specific information. These questions often begin with question words like "ڪير" (keer - who), "ڇا" (chha - what), "ڪيئن" (kyun - how), "ڪڏھن" (kadhan - when), and "ڪٿي" (kithay - where).


<h3>Question Words</h3>
==== Structure of Information Questions ====


The following table shows the most common question words used in Sindhi:
* Begin with a question word.
 
* Follow with the verb and then the subject.
 
Let’s see some examples:

|-
|-
| ڪئين || Kuheen || Where
 
| اوھان کي ڪيئن آھيو؟ || ohan khe kyun aahiyo? || How are you?
 
|-
|-
| چڪر || Chakar || Why
 
| توھان ڪڏھن ايندا؟ || tohaan kadhan ainda? || When will you come?
 
|-
|-

|-
| اوھان کي ڪٿي وڃڻ آھي؟ || ohan khe kithay wanjhan aahi? || Where do you want to go?

In this lesson, we will explore how to create different types of questions in Sindhi, including yes/no questions and information questions.

Introduction to Question Formation[edit | edit source]

In Sindhi, forming questions can be both straightforward and nuanced. Questions help us to engage in dialogue, seek clarifications, and express our thoughts and needs. Understanding how to form questions is particularly important for beginners as it opens the door to meaningful conversations.

In this section, we will cover two main types of questions: yes/no questions and information questions. Each type has its own structure and nuances, and we'll dive into examples and explanations to make these concepts clear.

Yes/No Questions[edit | edit source]

Yes/no questions are designed to elicit a simple "yes" or "no" response. In Sindhi, these questions often begin with a verb or an auxiliary verb. Let’s look at the structure and some examples.

Structure of Yes/No Questions[edit | edit source]

  • The verb typically comes at the beginning of the sentence.
  • A question marker, such as "آهي" (ahi - is), may be used.

Here are some examples to illustrate this:

Sindhi Pronunciation English
ڇا توھان خوش آھيو؟ chha tohaan khush aahiyo? Are you happy?
اوھان کي خبر آهي؟ ohan khe khabar aahi? Do you know?
اھو سچ آهي؟ uho sach aahi? Is that true?
توھان سچ پيا ڳالھائين؟ tohaan sach piya galhain? Are you really talking?
ڇا اوھان وٽ ڪتاب آهي؟ chha ohan vat kitaab aahi? Do you have a book?

As you can see, the structure is quite simple, and the key is to remember to start with the verb. This pattern will help you form yes/no questions with ease.

Information Questions[edit | edit source]

Information questions, also known as "wh- questions," are used when you need specific information. These questions often begin with question words like "ڪير" (keer - who), "ڇا" (chha - what), "ڪيئن" (kyun - how), "ڪڏھن" (kadhan - when), and "ڪٿي" (kithay - where).

Structure of Information Questions[edit | edit source]

  • Begin with a question word.
  • Follow with the verb and then the subject.

Let’s see some examples:

Sindhi Pronunciation English
توھان ڪير آھيو؟ tohaan keer aahiyo? Who are you?
توھان ڇا پيا ڳالھائين؟ tohaan chha piya galhain? What are you talking about?
اوھان کي ڪيئن آھيو؟ ohan khe kyun aahiyo? How are you?
توھان ڪڏھن ايندا؟ tohaan kadhan ainda? When will you come?
اوھان کي ڪٿي وڃڻ آھي؟ ohan khe kithay wanjhan aahi? Where do you want to go?

These question words are crucial for gathering information and engaging in deeper conversations. They allow you to connect more meaningfully with others and inquire about their experiences, thoughts, or feelings.
