Hi Korean learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing how to ask questions in Korean. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and it's no different in Korean. We'll look at the different ways to form questions, as well as some tips and tricks to help you ask questions more naturally.

Basic Question Structure

The basic structure for asking questions in Korean is very simple. All you need to do is add the particle '는/은' after the subject of the sentence. For example:

• 사과가 맛있는가? (Is the apple delicious?)
• 친구가 어디에 살는가? (Where does your friend live?)

This is the most basic way to form questions, but there are other ways to make them sound more natural.

Adding Intonation

When asking a question, it's important to add intonation to your voice. This helps to make the question sound more natural and conversational. To do this, you can raise the pitch of your voice at the end of the sentence. For example:

• 사과가 맛있는가? (Is the apple delicious?)
• 친구가 어디에 살는가? (Where does your friend live?)

This is a simple way to make your questions sound more natural.

Using Other Particles

In addition to the particle '는/은', there are other particles that can be used to form questions. These include '나', '냐', '까', and '지'. For example:

• 사과가 맛있나? (Is the apple delicious?)
• 친구가 어디에 살냐? (Where does your friend live?)

These particles can be used to make questions sound more casual and conversational.

Using Other Words

In addition to the particles mentioned above, there are other words that can be used to form questions. These include '야', '겠지', and '지'. For example:

• 사과가 맛있야? (Is the apple delicious?)
• 친구가 어디에 살겠지? (Where does your friend live?)

These words can be used to make questions sound more informal and conversational.

Here are some tips and tricks to help you ask questions more naturally:

• Use intonation to make your questions sound more natural.
