Language/Slovak/Grammar/Questions
Hi Slovak learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing how to ask questions in Slovak. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and it can be tricky to get the grammar right. But don't worry, by the end of this lesson you'll have a good understanding of how to form questions in Slovak.
Basic Question Structure
The basic structure for asking questions in Slovak is very similar to English. You start with the question word, followed by the verb, then the subject, and finally the rest of the sentence. Here's an example:
Question word + Verb + Subject + Rest of sentence?
For example:
Kto je to? (Who is that?)
Question Words
The most common question words in Slovak are:
- Kto (who)
- Čo (what)
- Kedy (when)
- Ako (how)
- Prečo (why)
- Kde (where)
These question words can be used to ask a variety of questions. Here are some examples:
Kto je to? (Who is that?) Čo je to? (What is that?) Kedy prídeš? (When will you come?) Ako sa voláš? (What is your name?) Prečo si tu? (Why are you here?) Kde je tvoj dom? (Where is your house?)
Yes/No Questions
Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with either "yes" or "no". To form a yes/no question in Slovak, you need to use the verb at the beginning of the sentence. Here are some examples:
Je to tvoj brat? (Is that your brother?) Máš sestru? (Do you have a sister?) Chceš ísť von? (Do you want to go out?)
Tag Questions
Tag questions are questions that are added to the end of a statement. They are used to confirm something or to ask for confirmation. To form a tag question in Slovak, you need to use the verb at the beginning of the sentence. Here are some examples:
Je to tvoj brat, nie? (Is that your brother, right?) Máš sestru, však? (You have a sister, don't you?) Chceš ísť von, nie? (You want to go out, don't you?)
