German Question Words
German Question Words
In English the order of the words changes when converting a statement to a question. The same is true in German. When asking a question, the order is as follows: |
| Gehen wir bald? | Are we leaving soon? |
| Ist das dein Freund Paul? | Is that your friend Paul? |
| Bist du glücklich? | Are you happy? |
| Kannst du morgen kommen? | Are you able to come tomorrow? |
Just like in English you raise the pitch of your voice at the end of a question. In German you can also turn a statement into a question just by pronouncing it like a question.
Zum Beispiel:
| Er ist müde. | He is tired. |
| Er ist müde? | Is he tired? |
| Du rennst schnell. | You are running fast. |
| Du rennst schnell? | Are you running fast? |
| Das ist gut. | That is good. |
| Das ist gut? | Is that good? |
| Wir sind krank. | We are sick. |
| Wir sind krank? | Are we sick? |
