Hi Standard Estonian learners! 😊<br>In today's lesson, we will be discussing how to ask questions in Standard Estonian. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and it can be tricky to get the grammar right.

__TOC__

== Basic Question Structure ==

The basic structure for asking questions in Standard Estonian is quite simple. All you need to do is add the word 'kas' at the beginning of the sentence. For example:

* Kas sa oled hea? (Are you good?)
* Kas ta on sõber? (Is he a friend?)

This is the most basic way to ask questions in Standard Estonian, but there are other ways as well.

=== Yes/No Questions ===

Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with either a yes or a no. To form a yes/no question in Standard Estonian, you need to use the word 'küsimus'. For example:

* Küsimus: Kas sa oled hea? (Question: Are you good?)
* Küsimus: Kas ta on sõber? (Question: Is he a friend?)

You can also use the word 'küsida' to form yes/no questions. For example:

* Küsida: Kas sa oled hea? (Ask: Are you good?)
* Küsida: Kas ta on sõber? (Ask: Is he a friend?)

=== Wh-Questions ===

Wh-questions are questions that start with a wh-word such as 'who', 'what', 'when', 'where', 'why', or 'how'. To form a wh-question in Standard Estonian, you need to use the word 'mis'. For example:

* Mis on sinu nimi? (What is your name?)
* Mis on tema vanus? (What is his age?)

You can also use the word 'küsida' to form wh-questions. For example:

* Küsida: Mis on sinu nimi? (Ask: What is your name?)
* Küsida: Mis on tema vanus? (Ask: What is his age?)

=== Tag Questions ===

Tag questions are questions that are added to the end of a statement. To form a tag question in Standard Estonian, you need to use the word 'ei'. For example:

* Sa oled hea, ei? (You are good, right?)
* Ta on sõber, ei? (He is a friend, right?)

You can also use the word 'küsida' to form tag questions. For example:

* Küsida: Sa oled hea, ei? (Ask: You are good, right?)
* Küsida: Ta on sõber, ei? (Ask: He is a friend, right?)

== Conclusion ==

Asking questions in Standard Estonian is not as difficult as it may seem. By following the tips and examples in this lesson, you should now have a good understanding of how to ask questions in Standard Estonian.
