"자동차가 어느 좋습니까" is also correct, no? I get confused whether to put the question qualifier in front or behind the subject.
The word order is more flexible in some cases than others, but an easy way that works most of the time is to put the question word in the same place where the answer would have been.
This car is good. 이 자동차가 좋습니다.
Which car is good? 어느 자동차가 좋습니까?
In the affirmative sentence, 이 comes before the noun. Thus, 어느 comes before the noun.
Usually question words like why and how can go anywhere as long as they are in front of the verb but in this case 어느 is qualifying car, asking which cars specifically are good so I think it has to go in front of 자동차.
Confusing. I programmed myself to use (for example) Car + which is good? as a blueprint of how things have been going, but this says I'm wrong.
i think the first one is .what kind. which replaces an adjective and the second is .which.
I'm confused by the verbs 좋압니까 and 좋습니까. What is the difference between them?
I can never remember whether to put the question part in front or behind
i think that is more like a descriptive verb instead of an adjective so i guess it takes the same final as verbs and because its a question i think we should write좋습니까 .thats my understanding its not necessarily true.
좋습니다 means "is good" and is used in declarative statements like 음식이 좋습니다 (The food is good) while 음식이 좋습니까 is asking "Is the food good". The 까 suffix signifies a question.
I'm still learning Korean but I'm sure that you don't need question marks if you have 까 at the end of a sentence.
