Hi Standard Moroccan Tamazight learners! 😊

We will look at the different ways to form questions, as well as some tips and tricks for making sure your questions are clear and understandable.
Question Formation
Questions in Standard Moroccan Tamazight are formed differently than in English. In Standard Moroccan Tamazight, the verb comes first, followed by the subject. For example, the question "What are you doing?" would be translated as "Doing what you?".
Yes/No Questions
Yes/no questions are the simplest type of questions in Standard Moroccan Tamazight. To form a yes/no question, simply add the particle "ma" to the beginning of the sentence. For example, the statement "You are eating" would become "Ma you eating?".
Wh-Questions
Wh-questions are more complex than yes/no questions. To form a wh-question, you must use the appropriate wh-word (who, what, when, where, why, or how) at the beginning of the sentence. For example, the question "What are you doing?" would be translated as "What you doing?".
Tips and Tricks
