== Basic Rules ==
==Forming Questions==
 
In Sindhi, a question can be formed by adding a question word at the beginning of a sentence or by using intonation. Examples of question words include ''kaa'' (what), ''kija'' (how), ''kiveṅ'' (where), ''kade'' (when), ''kithe'' (where), ''kyoṇ'' (why), ''ki'' (which), and ''keƞd̨o'' (who).
 
===Example===
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| کديٺا آئيو؟  || ''Kadeeta aaiyo?'' ||  When did you come?
|-
| توهان ڪٺا هن ڪجاڻ گھڻيل ٿو؟ || ''Tuhin keta hin kajanj ghaniil tho?'' ||  Where did you hide it?
|-
| ٻڌٽان ريائت ڪادي || ''Bhuttan riyaat kadi?'' || What are the traditions of Bhuttan?
|}
 
==Answering Questions==
 
In Sindhi, there are three ways to answer questions: yes, no, or by repetition of the question. Repetition of the question is often used when the question is not clear or to emphasize the answer.
 
===Example===
 
* Person 1: توهان سڄا مجبور آهيو؟ (''Tuhin saca majboor aahiyun?'' - Are you really forced to do this?)
* Person 2: هوون ٿياڻ. (''Hoon thiyann.'' - Yes.)
 
* Person 1: سچءَءَ مان پلّو مٿھا جي بابت ڀلريو آهين؟ (''Sacʻā man pallo methā ji bābat bhalryun āhin?'' - Do you like sweet rice?)
* Person 2: سچ ڄيڪ ڄڪ. (''Sac jhaky jhuk.'' - Absolutely yes.)
 
* Person 1: توهان باري ڄاڻ ۾ پوئي؟ (''Tuhin baari jhan me pooi?'' - Did you swim in the river?)
* Person 2: باريءَءَ کيجها. (''Baari-a-a kijhaa.'' - I swam in the river.)


Asking questions in Sindhi follows the same basic rules as in English. The main difference is that in Sindhi, the verb comes at the end of the sentence. For example, if you wanted to ask "What is your name?", you would say "Tuhinjo naam kya hai?".
==Question Particles==


=== Yes/No Questions ===
In Sindhi, question particles are used to change a statement into a question. Question particles are added at the end of the sentence. Examples of question particles include ''جي'' (ji), ''هو'' (ho), and ''هاڻ'' (han). ''جي'' changes an affirmative statement to a question, ''هو'' changes a negative statement to a question, and ''هاڻ'' creates a rhetorical question.


Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. To form a yes/no question in Sindhi, you need to use the word "kya" at the beginning of the sentence. For example, if you wanted to ask "Do you speak Sindhi?", you would say "Kya tum Sindhi bolte ho?".
===Example===


=== Wh-Questions ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|تون ۾ڪان گڏ ويس؟ جي. || ''Ton mékan gadh wees? Ji.'' || Are there rooms for rent? Yes.
|-
| اج پوئڻ واري مينو شور شڪار نه تہجي؟ هو. || ''Ajj pooiñ wari myñu shōr shikar ná tehji? Ho.'' || Did you not hear the noise while swimming today? No.
|-
| انگريز ڪتب ٺيون ويا، نه؟ هاڻ. || ''Angrez kitab thíun weya, ná? Han.'' || English books are difficult to find, aren't they? This is a rhetorical question.
|}


Wh-questions are questions that start with a word such as "what", "where", "when", "why", or "how". To form a wh-question in Sindhi, you need to use the appropriate word at the beginning of the sentence. For example, if you wanted to ask "Where do you live?", you would say "Tum kahan rehte ho?".
==Dialogue==


== Advanced Topics ==
* Person 1: توهان کان آيا؟ (''Tuhin kaan aayo?'' - Where are you from?)
* Person 2: مان ھيندوستان کان آهيو. (''Man Hindustan kan aahiyun.''- I am from India.)


Once you have mastered the basics of asking questions in Sindhi, there are some more advanced topics that you can explore.  
* Person 1: توهان کلاس ۾ کيتي سڏنگ ٿيو؟ (''Tuhin class me kithe sijngen thiyun?'' - Where did you sit in the class?)
* Person 2: مان نيڊ ۾ بينڊج تي سڏا. (''Man need mé bindz-thi sijjo.'' - I sat in the front row.)


=== Negation ===
* Person 1: چو ڀاچا۔ '?'' (''Cho bacha?' - How are you?)
* Person 2: تهاڻ هڪدا ٺيڪ آهيو. (''Than hanjo thek aahyu.'' - I am doing good.)


Negation is a way of expressing the opposite of something. To form a negative question in Sindhi, you need to use the word "nahi" at the beginning of the sentence. For example, if you wanted to ask "Don't you speak Sindhi?", you would say "Nahi tum Sindhi nahi bolte?".
==Sindhi Language Resources==


=== Tag Questions ===
If you want to learn more about Sindhi language, culture, and history, you can find more information on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindhi_language Sindhi Language] page on Wikipedia.


Tag questions are questions that are added to the end of a statement. To form a tag question in Sindhi, you need to use the word "kya" at the end of the sentence. For example, if you wanted to ask "You speak Sindhi, don't you?", you would say "Tum Sindhi bolte ho, kya?".

Forming Questions

In Sindhi, a question can be formed by adding a question word at the beginning of a sentence or by using intonation. Examples of question words include kaa (what), kija (how), kiveṅ (where), kade (when), kithe (where), kyoṇ (why), ki (which), and keƞd̨o (who).

Example

Sindhi Pronunciation English
کديٺا آئيو؟ Kadeeta aaiyo? When did you come?
توهان ڪٺا هن ڪجاڻ گھڻيل ٿو؟ Tuhin keta hin kajanj ghaniil tho? Where did you hide it?
ٻڌٽان ريائت ڪادي Bhuttan riyaat kadi? What are the traditions of Bhuttan?

Answering Questions

In Sindhi, there are three ways to answer questions: yes, no, or by repetition of the question. Repetition of the question is often used when the question is not clear or to emphasize the answer.

Example

  • Person 1: توهان سڄا مجبور آهيو؟ (Tuhin saca majboor aahiyun? - Are you really forced to do this?)
  • Person 2: هوون ٿياڻ. (Hoon thiyann. - Yes.)
  • Person 1: سچءَءَ مان پلّو مٿھا جي بابت ڀلريو آهين؟ (Sacʻā man pallo methā ji bābat bhalryun āhin? - Do you like sweet rice?)
  • Person 2: سچ ڄيڪ ڄڪ. (Sac jhaky jhuk. - Absolutely yes.)
  • Person 1: توهان باري ڄاڻ ۾ پوئي؟ (Tuhin baari jhan me pooi? - Did you swim in the river?)
  • Person 2: باريءَءَ کيجها. (Baari-a-a kijhaa. - I swam in the river.)

Question Particles

In Sindhi, question particles are used to change a statement into a question. Question particles are added at the end of the sentence. Examples of question particles include جي (ji), هو (ho), and هاڻ (han). جي changes an affirmative statement to a question, هو changes a negative statement to a question, and هاڻ creates a rhetorical question.
