Samoan Grammar - How to Ask Questions

Hi Samoan learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be learning how to ask questions in Samoan. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and it's essential to understand the rules of grammar when forming questions in Samoan. We'll cover the basics of how to form questions, as well as some more advanced topics.

Basic Question Formation

The basic structure for forming questions in Samoan is quite simple. All you need to do is add the particle "e" to the end of a statement. For example:

• Statement: Ua fa'atau le tamaiti.
• Question: Ua fa'atau le tamaiti e?

This is the most basic way to form questions in Samoan, but there are other ways to make your questions more specific.

Adding Question Words

You can also add question words to the beginning of your sentence to make it more specific. For example:

• Statement: Ua fa'atau le tamaiti.
• Question: Cia ua fa'atau le tamaiti e?
