Understanding Czech Interrogative Sentences
In Czech, just like in English, we use questions to find out information. These questions are called interrogative sentences. Let's learn how to form them and use them!
Types of Interrogative Sentences

Yes/No Questions
Wh- Questions

Yes/No Questions
These are questions that can be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no'. In Czech, you usually start these questions with a verb.
Examples
Jsi šťastný? (Are you happy?)
Má ona sestru? (Does she have a sister?)
Wh- Questions
These questions start with a question word like 'what', 'where', 'who', 'when', or 'why'. In Czech, these are called 'tázací slova'.
Important Points
Co (What)
Kde (Where)
Kdo (Who)
Kdy (When)
Proč (Why)
Examples
Co děláš? (What are you doing?)
Kde bydlíš? (Where do you live?)
Proč pláčeš? (Why are you crying?)
Tag Questions
These questions are like a statement with a little question at the end to ask for confirmation. In Czech, they often use 'že?' or 'viď?'
Examples
Ty jsi unavený, že? (You are tired, aren't you?)
Ona je učitelka, viď? (She is a teacher, isn't she?)
