Basic Question Structure
The basic structure for asking questions in Lithuanian is quite simple. All you need to do is add the word ar at the beginning of the sentence. For example:

Wh-Questions
Wh-questions are used to ask for more information. In Lithuanian, wh-questions are formed by adding the appropriate wh-word at the beginning of the sentence. Here are some examples:
- Kas tu esi? - Who are you?
- Kur tu gyveni? - Where do you live?
- Kada tu gimė? - When were you born?
Tag Questions

- Tu eini, ar ne? - You're going, right?
- Jis moka lietuvių kalbą, ar ne? - He knows Lithuanian, doesn't he?

Just remember to add the word ar at the beginning of the sentence for yes/no questions, and to add the appropriate wh-word for wh-questions.
