Types of Questions
In Faroese, there are two main types of questions: yes/no questions and wh-questions.
Yes/No Questions
Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with either a yes or a no. In Faroese, these questions are formed by adding the particle "er" to the end of the sentence. For example:
- Er hann bor í Føroyum? (Does he live in the Faroe Islands?)
Wh-Questions
Wh-questions are questions that require more information than just a yes or no answer. In Faroese, these questions are formed by adding the wh-word to the beginning of the sentence. For example:
- Hvat hevur hann gjørt? (What has he done?)
Grammar Rules
When asking questions in Faroese, there are a few grammar rules that you need to keep in mind.
- When forming yes/no questions, the verb always comes at the end of the sentence.
- When forming wh-questions, the wh-word always comes at the beginning of the sentence.
- When forming wh-questions, the verb always comes before the subject.
- When forming wh-questions, the verb is conjugated in the same way as it would be in a statement.
For example:
- Er hann bor í Føroyum? (Does he live in the Faroe Islands?)
- Hvat hevur hann gjørt? (What has he done?)
- Hvar býr hann? (Where does he live?)
- Hvussu kom hann til Føroyar? (How did he come to the Faroe Islands?)
