In Hungarian, embedded polar questions (3) are initiated by the hogy conjunction, which can also be dropped. While simple polar questions (2) are marked by the interrogative intonation, the -e question particle is compulsory in embedded polar questions. The word order of embedded polar questions is the same as in indicative (1) and simple polar questions (cf. Kenesei et al. 1998: 31‒32).
