direct, indirect question

[Tukanja]

What are the direct and indirect questions regarding the grammar?
Please write at least one example for each of them.

Thanks

Do you mean an example of a question using a direct object? Here is one: "Will she buy it?" In this case "it" is the direct object. For indirect object you could ask: "Who will send me the fax?" in this case "me" is the indirect object and "fax" is the direct object.
