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:
- 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'.
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:
Tosk Albanian | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
Ç'është kjo? | cheshtë kyo? | What is this? |
Kush je ti? | koosh yeh tee? | Who are you? |
Kur vjen autobusi? | koohr v-yen ahwtoh-boo-see? | When does the bus come? |
Ku jeton ti? | koo jeh-tohn tee? | Where do you live? |
You may have noticed that Tosk Albanian does not use the auxiliary verb 'do' to form simple questions. Instead, interrogative words are used to indicate a question.
