Achte auf die hervorgehobenen Teile. Was haben sie gemeinsam?
Questions with a question word work like in English, minus "do": the question word comes first, then the verb, then the subject. English needs "do" in "Where do you live?"; Luxembourgish just says Wou wunns du? - "Where live you?".
| Luxembourgish | English | Example |
|---|---|---|
| wat | what | Wat méchs du haut? - What are you doing today? |
| wien | who | Wien ass dat? - Who's that? |
| wou | where | Wou ass d'Gare? - Where is the station? |
| wéini | when | Wéini fänkt d'Schueberfouer un? - When does the fair start? |
| wéi | how | Wéi geet et? - How are you? |
| firwat | why | Firwat bass du hei? - Why are you here? |
| wéi vill | how much, how many | Wéi vill kascht eng Bouneschlupp? - How much is a bean soup? |
Question word + verb + subject + rest: Wou schaffs du? - Where do you work? A separable prefix or a second verb still goes to the end: Wéini fänkt de Film un? - When does the film start?
Two everyday questions to learn whole: Wéi heeschs du? - What's your name? (literally "How are you called?") and Wéi al bass du? - How old are you?
