<div class="pg_page_title">Wolof Grammar - How to Ask Questions</div>
Hi Wolof learners! 😊<br>In today's lesson, we will be learning how to ask questions in Wolof. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and it's essential to understand the basics of how to do it in Wolof. We'll cover the different types of questions, as well as the grammar rules that apply when asking questions. By the end of this lesson, you should have a good understanding of how to ask questions in Wolof.

__TOC__

== Types of Questions ==

In Wolof, there are two main types of questions: yes/no questions and wh-questions.

=== Yes/No Questions ===
Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with either "yes" or "no". They are used to ask for confirmation or to check if something is true. For example:

* Ndax nga xamul? - Are you hungry?
* Waaw, dafa am? - Yes, why?

In Wolof, yes/no questions are formed by adding the particle ma at the end of the sentence. For example:

* Ndax nga xamul ma? - Are you hungry?

=== Wh-Questions ===
Wh-questions are questions that begin with a question word such as "who", "what", "when", "where", "why", or "how". They are used to ask for more information about something. For example:

* Xel nga bokk? - Who are you?
* Naka nga bokk? - What are you?
* Naka nga def? - When did you come?
* Naka nga tudd? - Where did you go?
* Naka nga jox? - Why did you leave?
* Naka nga sotti? - How did you do it?

In Wolof, wh-questions are formed by adding the particle naka at the beginning of the sentence. For example:

* Naka xel nga bokk? - Who are you?

== Grammar Rules ==

When asking questions in Wolof, there are some grammar rules that you need to follow.

* The verb always comes at the end of the sentence.
* The subject always comes before the verb.
* The particle ma or naka is added at the end of the sentence.

For example:

* Ndax nga xamul ma? - Are you hungry?
* Naka xel nga bokk? - Who are you?
