의문사 — Question Words

Korean question words stay in place — they don't move to the front of the sentence like in English. Korean forms questions with intonation (rising pitch) or question particles.

KoreanMeaningExample
누구who누구를 만났어요? (Who did you meet?)
뭐 / 무엇what뭐 먹어요? (What do you eat?)
어디where어디에 가요? (Where are you going?)
언제when언제 와요? (When are you coming?)
왜why왜 안 먹어요? (Why don't you eat?)
어떻게how어떻게 가요? (How do you get there?)
몇how many / what number몇 시예요? (What time is it?)
얼마how much (price)이거 얼마예요? (How much is this?)

Key rules:

  • Question words take 이/가 as subject (누가 = who + subject), never 은/는
  • 뭐 is the casual form of 무엇 (뭐 해요? = 무엇을 해요?)
  • 누구 + 가 contracts to 누가
  • Yes/no questions use the same form as statements — just rising intonation: 학생이에요? (Are you a student?)

어떤 (which/what kind): 어떤 음식을 좋아해요? = What kind of food do you like?

Learners move question words to the front (English habit) or use 은/는 with them instead of 이/가. 🇬🇧 English speakers: English fronts question words ('WHERE are you going?'). In Korean, they stay in the normal position: 어디에 가요? (lit. 'where-to go?'). Also, English uses do/does for questions — Korean doesn't. 🇩🇪 German speakers: German also fronts question words ('Wohin gehst du?'). Korean keeps them in place. Additionally, German inverts subject-verb for questions — Korean doesn't.

Häufige Fehlermuster

Moved question word to sentence-initial position (English/German habit)

Korean question words stay in their normal position: 어디에 가요? (NOT *가요 어디에?)

Used 은/는 with a question word instead of 이/가

Question words take 이/가: 누가 (NOT *누구는), 뭐가 (NOT *뭐는)

이름이 뭐예요?

Wie heißen Sie?

Fragewort 뭐 bleibt in Prädikatsposition, nicht wie im Englischen an den Anfang.

어디에서 왔어요?

Woher kommen Sie?

어디 (wo) + 에서 (von) + 왔어요 (kam). 에서 mit 오다 = 'woher'.

왜 안 먹어요?

Warum isst du nicht?

왜 (warum) nimmt keine Partikel. Kann satzanfänglich oder mitten im Satz stehen.

지금 몇 시예요?

Wie spät ist es jetzt?

몇 (wie viele) + 시 (Uhr). 몇 für Zählbares: 몇 개 (wie viele), 몇 명 (wie viele Leute).
