Ciao! This Tuesday we had our second lesson with “Professor” Gabriella at PPS Bridge Street where we learned how to ask questions in Italian. Here are the words used to create a question in Italian:
- Chi? (kee) (Who?)
- Che? (keh) (What?)
- Che cosa? (keh koh-zah) (What?) (This is the preferred use.)
- Dove? (doh-veh) (Where?)
- Quando? (koo-ahn-doh) (When?)
- Perché? (pehr-keh) (Why?)
- Come? (koh-meh) (How?)
- Quanto? (koo-ahn-toh) (How much?)
- Quale? (koo-ah-leh) (Which?)
Now that you know the basics, let’s put some questions together.
- Chi è? (Who is it?)
- Chi viene? (Who is coming?)
- Che ore sono? (What time is it?)
- Che giorno è oggi? (What day is it today?)
- Che cosa stai facendo? (What are you doing)
- Che cosa prendi? (What are you having (taking)?)
- Dove sei? (Where are you?)
- Dove vai? (Where are you going?)
- Quando vieni? (When are you coming?)
- Come stai? (How are you?)
- Come è la pizza? (How is the pizza?)
- Quanto costa? (How much is it?)
Benissimo!
