Punctuation mark[edit]
- encloses a question in Spanish; equivalent in English and many other languages: ?
- ¿Cómo estás? ― How are you?
- Si tú fuiste, ¿a qué hora llegaste? ― If you went, at what time did you arrive?
Usage notes[edit]
- In written Spanish, the ¿ symbol is placed at the beginning of an interrogative phrase, with the ? at the end of the phrase. As SMS messaging and other forms of electronic communication have become more common, many speakers only use ? for questions and ! for exclamations, leaving out the initial typographical mark. This is considered non-standard usage.
