MONGOLIAN ENGLISH LESSON 13
Mongolian vs English Question words In English we can build a question mainly according to the following schema:
1)
Verbs “to be” and “to have”: inverting the order of the words like: Are you well? Have you a pen? That in Mongolian can be translated as: Чи зүгээр үү? (are you ok?) танд үзэг бий юу? Where үзэг -> it means “ pen”, танд->You бий юу-> litterally what there is?
In Mongolian we encounter үү and юу to render the question word
2)
Most of the other verbs not modal using the auxiliary: to do for example such in
Do you go to school by bus?-> Та сургуульд автобусаар явдаг уу?
Again in Mongolian we have the question mark “уу”
School -> сургууль
