「か」なしの疑問文 (「ka」nashi no gimonbun) — Questions without か
Plain form + rising tone = a question.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
In casual speech you don't need か to ask a question — just put the plain form at the end and raise your intonation (written with ?). Examples: 「行く?」 (Going?), 「おいしい?」 (Tasty?), 「いぬがすき?」 (Do you like dogs?). With nouns/な-adjectives, だ is usually dropped: 「学生?」 (you don't say 「学生だか?」). This is only for casual conversation; polite questions still need ですか/ますか.
Examples (उदाहरणहरू)
あした、行く?
ashita, iku?
You going tomorrow?
これ、おいしい?
kore, oishii?
Is this tasty?
いぬがすき?
inu ga suki?
