Gujarati Grammar - How to Ask Questions

Hi Gujarati learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be learning how to ask questions in Gujarati. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and it can help you to communicate more effectively with others. We will cover the different types of questions, as well as the grammar rules that you need to know in order to form them correctly.

Types of Questions

In Gujarati, there are two main types of questions: yes/no questions and wh-questions.

Yes/No Questions

Yes/no questions are used to ask for a simple yes or no answer. They are formed by adding the particle છે (che) at the end of the sentence. For example:

• તમે ગુજરાતી શિક્ષણ આપો છો? (Do you teach Gujarati?)

Wh-Questions

Wh-questions are used to ask for more detailed information. They are formed by adding the particle કે (ke) at the end of the sentence. For example:

• તમે કે ગુજરાતી શિક્ષણ આપો છો? (What do you teach in Gujarati?)

Grammar Rules

When forming questions in Gujarati, there are a few grammar rules that you need to keep in mind.

Word Order

The word order for questions is different from that of statements. In questions, the verb comes first, followed by the subject. For example:

• આપે કહો છો? (Will you say?)

Negation

Negative questions are formed by adding the particle નહીં (nahi) before the verb. For example:

• તમે કહીં નહીં છો? (Won't you say?)

Intonation

It is important to remember that the intonation of a question is different from that of a statement. When asking a question, the intonation should rise at the end of the sentence.

Conclusion

We have now learned how to ask questions in Gujarati. Remember to use the correct grammar rules and intonation when forming your questions. With practice, you will soon be able to ask questions confidently and accurately.
