{{main|Interrogatives in Esperanto}}

"Wh" questions are asked with one of the interrogative/relative ''(ki-'') [[Table of correlatives (Esperanto)|correlatives]]. They are commonly placed at the beginning of the sentence, but different word orders are allowed for stress:

:''Li scias, '''kion''' vi faris'' (He knows what you did.)
:'''''Kion''' vi faris?'' (What did you do?)
:''Vi faris '''kion'''?'' (You did ''what?)''

Yes/no questions are marked with the conjunction ''ĉu'' (whether):

:''Mi ne scias, '''ĉu''' li venos'' (I don't know whether he'll come)
:'''''Ĉu''' li venos?'' (Will he come?)

Such questions can be answered ''jes'' (yes) or ''ne'' (no) in the European fashion of aligning with the polarity of the answer, or ''ĝuste'' (correct) or ''malĝuste'' (incorrect) in the Japanese fashion of aligning with the polarity of the question:

:''Ĉu vi ne iris?'' (Did you not go?)
:''— '''Ne''', mi ne iris'' (No, I didn't go); ''— '''Jes''', mi iris'' (Yes, I went)
:''— '''Ĝuste''', mi ne iris'' (Correct, I didn't go); ''— '''Malĝuste''', mi iris'' (Incorrect, I did go)

(Note that Esperanto questions may have the same word order as statements.)
