Interrogatives in Nepali

Asking questions is an important aspect of any language, and Nepali is no exception. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of interrogatives in Nepali, how to use them, and some cultural information related to question formation in Nepali.

Types of Interrogatives

In Nepali, there are three types of interrogatives:

  • Yes-No Questions: These are questions that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no".
  • WH-Questions: These questions seek specific information and can be answered with words like "who", "what", "where", "when", "why", and "how".
  • Choice Questions: These questions offer options and ask the listener to make a choice between them.

How to Use Interrogatives in Nepali

The usage of interrogatives in Nepali is similar to other languages. Here are some examples of how to use interrogatives in Nepali:

Yes-No Questions

Yes-No questions in Nepali are formed with the particle "cha" or "chaina" at the end of a statement. Here are some examples:

Nepali (individual language) Pronunciation English
तपाईँले काम गर्नुभयो। के छ? tapā'īle kām garnubhayo. ke cha? You did the work. Did you?
तपाईँले नेपाली सिक्नुहुन्छ। के छैन? tapā'īle nepālī siknuhunchha. ke chaina? You learn Nepali. Don't you?

WH-Questions

WH-questions in Nepali are formed by using the question word before the verb. Here are some examples:

Nepali (individual language) Pronunciation English
तपाईलाई नेपाली कसरी सिक्ने? tapā'īlā'ī nepālī kasarī sikne? How do you learn Nepali?
कति बजे हो? kati baje ho? What time is it?

Choice Questions

Choice questions in Nepali are formed by offering options and asking the listener to choose between them. Here are some examples:

Nepali (individual language) Pronunciation English
टेनिस खेल्नुपर्यो, वा फुटबल खेल्नुपर्यो? ṭenisa khelnu'paryo, vā phuṭabal khelnu'paryo? Do you play tennis or football?

Additionally, Nepali culture has a strong emphasis on politeness and respect. When asking questions, it is common to use honorifics and polite language, especially when speaking to someone older or in a position of authority.
