Particles are uninflected parts of speech and have the form of free morphemes with the function of modifying the meaning of a word or an utterance. The author focuses on the issue of modal particles in interrogative sentences from the Polish-German perspective and illustrates it on selected examples in an interlingual relation. German language has an extensive system of modal particles and it is not always possible to fully render the meaning of German sentences into Polish, which results, among others, from different, specific functioning of the category of modality in the two languages.
