Explanation

Basic Hausa word order: Subject-Verb-Object (like English). “Audu ya ga mota” = Audu saw (a) car. Pronoun subjects often incorporated into verb phrase: “Ya ga mota” (He saw a car).

Questions formed by tone change or question words: “Wane” (which-masc), “Wace” (which-fem), “Yaushe” (when), “Ina” (where), “Me/Menene” (what), “Yaya” (how). Question word usually comes first.

Relative clauses use “da” or “wanda/wadda”: “Mutumin da ya zo…” (The man who came…). Complex sentences use connectors: “domin” (because), “idan” (if), “sai” (until/then). Word order remains important for meaning.
