The sentence does not survive these
Question words — and the trap among them
The rule
wänn, wo, was, wie, weer. Most are recognisable; one is not.
Wänn chunt d Abfuhr?
Wann kommt die Abfuhr?
Wo find ich d Rüebli?
Wo finde ich die Karotten?
Was machsch am Wuchenend?
Was machst du am Wochenende?
Where it catches you
«Wänn» sounds like German «wenn». You hear a condition where a question was asked — and your answer then fits something nobody asked.
Where this actually comes up
The same structure, in sentences people actually say.
- At work
Wänn häsch Fiirabig?
Wann hast du Feierabend?
- At the kindergarten
Wänn isch de Uusflug?
Wann ist der Ausflug?
