Hi Western Frisian learners! 😊

But don't worry, by the end of this lesson you'll have a good understanding of how to ask questions in Western Frisian.

Basic Question Structure

The basic structure for asking questions in Western Frisian is quite simple. All you need to do is add the word 'do' at the beginning of the sentence. For example:

• Do hasto in auto? (Do you have a car?)
• Do wolsto mei? (Do you want me?)

Yes/No Questions

Yes/no questions are the most common type of questions in Western Frisian. To form a yes/no question, simply add the word 'do' at the beginning of the sentence. For example:

• Do hasto in auto? (Do you have a car?)
• Do wolsto mei? (Do you want me?)

Wh-Questions

Wh-questions are used to ask for more information. To form a wh-question, start with the word 'wat' (what), 'wy' (why), 'hoe' (how), 'wa' (where), or 'wen' (when). For example:

• Wat dochsto? (What are you doing?)
• Wy bisto sa stil? (Why are you so quiet?)
• Hoe faak komsto hjir? (How often do you come here?)
• Wa silsto dwaan? (Where will you go?)
• Wen silsto gean? (When will you leave?)

Tag Questions

Tag questions are used to confirm something or to check if the other person agrees. To form a tag question, add the word 'net' (right) at the end of the sentence. For example:

• Hasto in auto, net? (You have a car, right?)
• Wolsto mei, net? (You want me, right?)
