== Interrogative Words ==
|-


Interrogative words are used to ask questions in Tosk Albanian. They are the equivalent of the English words 'what', 'who', 'when', 'where', 'why', 'how', and 'how much/many'. Below is a list of common Tosk Albanian interrogative words:
| Cilën do të zgjedhësh? || tʃilɛn dɔ tə zɡjɛðɛʃ? || Which one will you choose?


* ç'falet? - what's the matter?
|-
* ç'është kjo? - what is this?
* kush? - who?
* ku? - where?
* kur? - when?
* pse? - why?
* si? - how?
* sa? - how much/many?


Note that Tosk Albanian uses the same word for 'what' and 'which': 'ç'ka'.
| Cila është ngjyra jote? || tʃila ɛʃt nɡyɾɑ jɔtɛ? || Which is your color?


When using interrogative words, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, interrogative words must be placed at the beginning of the sentence for the sentence to be considered a question. Secondly, the intonation of the sentence should be raised at the end, to indicate that it's a question.

Below are some examples:
| Cili do të vijë më parë? || tʃili dɔ tə vijɛ mɛ pɑɾ || Which one will come first?
 
|}
 
=== A (Yes/No Questions) ===
 
The particle '''a''' is often used to begin yes/no questions.
