Sentences for asking questions (Lesson 2)
When we ask questions in Japanese, we don’t change the word order. You just simply add the particle, KA at the end of sentences, and add a rising intonation. So, adding KA to the sentence KORE WA OMIYAGE DESU (This is a souvenir) becomes KORE WA OMIYAGE DESU KA (Is this a souvenir?)Now, double-check an affirmative sentence and a question.
KORE WA OMIYAGE DESU. (This is a souvenir.)
KORE WA OMIYAGE DESU KA. (Is this a souvenir?)
