Hi Northern Kurdish learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing how to ask questions in Northern Kurdish. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and Northern Kurdish is no exception. We will look at the different types of questions, as well as the grammar rules that apply when forming questions. By the end of this lesson, you should have a good understanding of how to ask questions in Northern Kurdish.
Types of Questions
There are two main types of questions in Northern Kurdish: yes/no questions and wh-questions.
Yes/No Questions
Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with either "yes" or "no". They are formed by adding the particle -a to the end of the sentence. For example:
- Tu karê xwe dixwazî? (Do you want to do your work?)
Wh-Questions
Wh-questions are questions that require more information than just a "yes" or "no" answer. They are formed by adding the particle -ê to the end of the sentence. For example:
- Çi karê xwe dixwazî? (What do you want to do?)
Grammar Rules
When forming questions in Northern Kurdish, there are a few grammar rules that you need to keep in mind.
- When forming yes/no questions, the verb comes at the end of the sentence.
- When forming wh-questions, the wh-word comes at the beginning of the sentence.
- The particle -a is used for yes/no questions, and the particle -ê is used for wh-questions.
