Types of Questions in Polish
Important Points
- Yes/No Questions
- Wh- Questions
- Tag Questions
These are questions that can be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no'. In Polish, you usually start these questions with the word 'czy'.
Examples
- Czy lubisz lody?
- Czy masz kota?
- Czy jesteś zmęczony?
These questions ask for more information and usually start with a question word. In Polish, some common question words are 'kto' (who), 'co' (what), 'gdzie' (where), 'kiedy' (when), 'dlaczego' (why), and 'jak' (how).
Examples
- Co robisz?
- Gdzie mieszkasz?
- Kiedy idziemy do parku?
Tag questions are used when you think you know the answer but want to check if you're right. In Polish, you can add a short question at the end, like 'prawda?' or 'nieprawdaż?'.
Examples
- Lubię czekoladę, prawda?
- Jest zimno, nieprawdaż?
- To jest twój pies, prawda?
