== Forming Questions ==
= Sentence Structure =
When forming questions in Telugu, there are a few rules to keep in mind.  
In Telugu, the basic sentence structure of questions remains the same as in affirmative (positive) sentences. The only difference is the use of question words and intonation.


* The verb comes first in the sentence.
For instance, let's take the following statement: "నేను ఊహించాను" (Nenu oohinchana), which means "I think".
* The subject follows the verb.
* The object follows the subject.
* The question word comes at the beginning of the sentence.  


For example:  
To turn it into a question, you simply need to add a question word at the beginning and a question mark at the end. Here are some examples:


* నీకు తెలుగు మాట్లాడాలి? (Do you understand Telugu?)
{| class="wikitable"
* నీకు ఎక్కడ ఉంటుంది? (Where are you?)
! Telugu !! Pronunciation !! English
* నీకు ఎవరైనా తెలుగు మాట్లాడింది? (Who taught you Telugu?)  
|-
| నీ ఎక్కడ ఉన్నావు? (Ni ekkada unnāvu?) || ni ek-ka-da un-naa-vu || Where are you?
|-
| మీరు ఏమి చేస్తారు? (Mīru emi cēstāru?) || mī-ru em-i çēs-tā-ru || What are you doing?
|-
| అటు ఎందుకు వస్తాడు? (Atu enduku vastādu?) || a-tu en-du-ku vas-tā-du || Why did he come?
