One easy way to ask questions in Italian is to add a question mark to the end of the sentence in writing. (When speaking, raise the pitch of your voice at the end of the sentence.) For example: Hai un buon lavoro. (You have a good job.) Hai un buon lavoro? (Do you have a good job?) If a subject (noun or pronoun) is expressed in the interrogative, it can: - Stay at the beginning of the sentence, before the verb.
- Move to the end of the sentence.
- Move to precede the verb (the least frequent option).
So, for instance, you can ask the question "Does Nadia have a bicycle?" in three different ways: Nadia ha una bicicletta? Ha una bicicletta Nadia? Ha Nadia una bicicletta? |
