葡萄牙語是或否問題

特別是在葡萄牙語中,是或否問題看起來與陳述句相同,即詞序保持不變。舉幾個例子: 

聲明式
Tu estás no Porto. 
你在波爾圖。

疑問
Tu estás no Porto?
你在波爾圖嗎?

如您所見,與英語等其他語言相反,在陳述句和疑問句中動詞都跟隨主詞。

由於疑問句和陳述句看起來相同,因此正確地發音疑問句非常重要,這樣它們才能達到預期的效果。 

例如,當詢問時, Tu estás no Porto?  you want to finish off in a rising tone so that it clearly sounds like a question. Read on.
