Ar?

To ask questions, you have to use a special question word ar.

Ar yra Vytautas? Is there Vytautas?
Ar jis kalba? Does he speak?
Ar jo sesė eina? Does his sister go?
Ar mes čia esame? Are we here?
Dariau, ar tu kalbi? Darius, do you speak?
Ar jūs kalbate lietuviškai? Do you speak Lithuanian?
Ar tavo vardas Darius? Is your name Darius?

However, it is not always necessary to use ar. If you raise your intonation in the end, you can omit ar:

Jis kalba? Does he speak? He speaks?
Dariau, tu kalbi? Darius, do you speak? Darius, you speak?
Jūs kalbate lietuviškai? You speak Lithuanian? Do you speak Lithuanian?
