"I am done." .vs. "am I done?"

Question

I don't understand how to say "I am done" in Spanish and how to say "Am I done?".

Answer 1

(¡) Estoy listo. (!)

¿Estoy listo?

Is that clear?

Edit:

Although questions are normally formed by inflection, it is also valid in many cases to flip subject - verb order in Spanish.

Pedro va al mercado. (Statement)

¿Va Pedro al mercado? (Question)

Maria sale mañana. (Statement)

¿Sale Maria mañana? (Question)

However, the following will mean the same and still we have to inflect the voice to ask.

¿Pedro va al mercado?

¿María sale mañana?

so just a change in tone is different? - aweinhardt, Jan 9, 2014

Yes that is how questions are made in Spanish. - ian-hill, Jan 10, 2014

Same thing in English, besides changing the words around for the question. Right? - chileno, Jan 10, 2014

Answer 3

That's actually a pretty good question because reversing the word order works in English.

Certainly you could just change the inflection in your voice, or use a question mark. But in English, reversing the word order is another way to make it into a question. So how is that replicated in Spanish?

The only way I can think of in Spanish would be to say "sí, o no terminé"? Yes, or no, am I done?

Of course if you removed the question mark in English from, "am I done", it could mean something like " boy, am I done (finished)", you're really done : )

Ya, terminé.

¿Terminé, sí, o no?
