Understanding Belarusian Interrogative Pronouns
Interrogative pronouns are special words that we use when we want to ask questions. In Belarusian, just like in English, these words help us find out more about something or someone. Let's learn about the different interrogative pronouns in Belarusian and how we can use them.
Important Points
  • Who (Хто)
  • What (Што)
  • Which (Які)
  • Whose (Чый)
  • Why (Чаму)
  • How (Як)
  • Where (Дзе)
  • When (Калі)
Each of these words helps us ask different types of questions. For example, 'Хто' is used when we want to know about a person, like 'Who is your friend?' In Belarusian, we would say 'Хто твой сябар?'.
Examples
  • Хто гэта чалавек?
  • Што ты робіш?
  • Дзе твой дом?
Let's look at some examples to see how these pronouns work in sentences. When you ask 'Што ты робіш?', you are asking 'What are you doing?' Here, 'Што' helps you find out about an action or thing.
Examples
  • Чаму ты сумны?
  • Як ты вучышся?
  • Калі пачынаецца ўрок?
In the question 'Чаму ты сумны?', 'Чаму' is used to ask about reasons. It means 'Why' in English. When you ask 'Як ты вучышся?', 'Як' means 'How' and helps to ask about the way something is done.
Examples
  • Чый гэта кніга?
  • Які твой любімы колер?
  • Дзе ты жывеш?
'Чый' is used when we want to know who something belongs to, like 'Whose book is this?' In Belarusian, we say 'Чый гэта кніга?' 'Які' helps us choose or specify, for example, 'Which is your favorite color?' or 'Які твой любімы колер?'.
