<p>The six interrogative adverbs <em>who</em>, <em>what</em>, <em>when</em>, <em>where</em>, <em>why</em> and <em>how</em> are crucial for asking questions. Their Polish equivalents might not be easy to learn since, unlike in English, they don&#8217;t even start with the same letter – but on the other hand, they&#8217;re very common, so you shouldn&#8217;t have problems getting used to them. They&#8217;re small, useful words, so go through this list and check if you know them all:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><u>Kto</u></strong> &#8211; Who?       <br /><strong>Kto to jest?        <br /></strong>Who&#8217;s this?       <br /><strong>Kto to powiedział?        <br /></strong>Who said this?       <br /><strong>Kto napisał ten artykuł?        <br /></strong>Who wrote this article?</p>
</blockquote>
<p> <span id="more-112"></span><br />
<blockquote>
<p><strong><u>Co</u></strong> &#8211; What?       <br /><strong>Co to jest?</strong>       <br />What&#8217;s this?       <br /><strong>Co on powiedział?</strong>       <br />What did he say?       <br /><strong>Co jest w tej torbie?</strong>       <br />What&#8217;s in this bag?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong><u>Kiedy</u></strong> &#8211; When?       <br /><strong>Kiedy będzie koniec świata?</strong>       <br />When will the end of the world be?       <br /><strong>Kiedy wydarzył się ten wypadek?</strong>       <br />When did this accident occur?       <br /><strong>Kiedy masz zamiar przeczytać tę książkę?</strong>       <br />When are you going to read this book?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong><u>Gdzie</u></strong> &#8211; Where?       <br /><strong>Gdzie mieszka ta kobieta?</strong>       <br />Where does this woman live?       <br /><strong>Gdzie wydarzył się ten wypadek?</strong>       <br />Where did this accident occur?       <br /><strong>Gdzie znajdę dobrą restaurację?</strong>       <br />Where will I find a good restaurant?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong><u>Dlaczego</u></strong> &#8211; Why?       <br /><strong>Dlaczego niebo jest niebieskie?</strong>       <br />Why is the sky blue?       <br /><strong>Dlaczego robisz tyle błędów?</strong>       <br />Why do you make so many mistakes?       <br /><strong>Dlaczego ona to zrobiła?</strong>       <br />Why did she do this?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong><u>Jak</u></strong> &#8211; How?       <br /><strong>Jak pisze się to słowo?</strong>       <br />How is this word spelled?       <br /><strong>Jak ona wygląda?</strong>       <br />How does she look?       <br /><strong>Jak on to zrobił?</strong>       <br />How did he do this?</p>
