Italian Language Notes

Questions often start with a question word.

Perché sei qui?
Why are you here?
Dove ci incontriamo?
Where shall we meet?
Quando siete aperti?
When are you open?
Cosa mangia?
What are you eating?
Come stai?
How are you?

In a sentence without a question word, you ask a question simply by altering the tone of your voice so that it sounds like a question.

Questa è mia figlia.
This is my daughter.
Questo è l'ufficio turistico?
Is this the tourist office?

You will often hear vero? at the end of a question. It corresponds to English question endings such as "isn't it? aren't we? don't they?"

Che bella giornata, vero?
It's a lovely day, isn't it?
