💡

Question Mark Placement

Always place the question mark on the 'ե' in 'Ինչպե՞ս'. It's a signature of Armenian orthography.

💡

Focus on the Vowel

Always find the stressed vowel first. If you are unsure, it is usually the last vowel of the word.

💡

Listen for the pitch

Even if you don't see the ՞, listen for the rising pitch at the end of the sentence.

The Article Rule

Always check if your noun needs -ը or -ն when using 'Ո՞ր'.

  • Ե՞րբ + verb
  • Ինչպե՞ս + verb
  • Word + ՞

常见错误

Pronouns like 'you' are often dropped in questions as the verb conjugation carries the meaning.

Wrong: Ինչու՞ ես դու գնում։
正确: Ինչու՞ ես գնում։

The particle -՞ must attach to the verb, not the end of the sentence.

Wrong: Դու գնում ես՞
正确: Դու գնու՞մ ես։

In Armenian, the verb usually follows the question word directly.

Wrong: Ե՞րբ դու գալիս ես
正确: Ե՞րբ ես գալիս։

常见问题 (6)

No, it must be at the beginning.
It is neutral and used in all contexts.
It is a unique feature of Armenian orthography to mark the interrogative word.
In very casual speech, yes, but it is not recommended for learners.
In Armenian, the question mark is placed on the vowel that carries the interrogative intonation. For Ինչպե՞ս, it is the 'ե'.
No, use Ինչու՞ for 'why'. Ինչպե՞ս is strictly for manner or method.
