Interrogative sentences in Icelandic grammar are the ones that ask questions. They usually start with question words such as “Hvað” (What), “Hver”(Who), “Hvenær”(When), “Hvar”(Where), “Hvernig” (How) and “Hví”(Why). These questions can be about various things like people, places, objects, time, manner, and reason. The structure of the sentence varies depending on what kind of information is being asked.
