Interrogative

In this post, i want tell you How Ask for something or How make interrogative sentence.
Maybe i made some examples about How ask for something, but in this post i want tell you how interrogative sentence made.
For make a Interrogative sentence, you can say Desuka or Ka after positive sentence.

Or S + O + P + ka?
  S + P + ka?
  S + ka?



Example :

What time did you sleep?
Positive = Anata wa kuji ni nemashita
Interrogative = Anata wa nanji ni nemashita ka? (Polite)

Is his name Hayato?
Positive = Ano hito no namae wa Hayato desu.
Interrogative = Ano hito no namae wa Hayato desuka? (Polite)

Is his name Hayato?
Positive = Ano hito no namae wa Hayato.
Interrogative = Ano hito no namae wa Hayato ka? (Impolite)

Are you stupid?
Positive = Anata wa baka.
nterrogative = Anata wa baka ka? (Impolite)


Or you can use these words for asking :


だれ dare who
どなた donata who (polite)
どちらさま dochirasama who (very polite)
なん、なに nan, nani what
なんにん nannin how many people
いくら ikura how much
いくつ ikutsu how many
いつ itsu when
どうして、なぜ doushite, naze why?
どうやって、どのように douyatte, donoyouni how?
どのような donoyouna which kind of?
どのくらい donokurai how long?

Ano hito wa dare desuka?
Who is that guy?

Dare ga yobare mashitaka?
Who called?

Dochira sama desuka?
Who are you? (polite)

Donokurai ookina ki desuka?
How big is that tree?
