Could you help me, please? What is the right option for the following question:
"Why is Google unique?" "Why Google is unique?"
Thank you very much and wish you a good day!

Oops, the following might be a better question to use if voting to close as a duplicate: Why do we say “is it” when asking a question rather than “it is”? – Lawrence Jul 19 '18 at 13:43

If you are asking why Google is unique and want to find out, use "Why is Google unique?"
"Why Google is unique" (your #2 phrase) is a phrase, not a question.

Why Google is unique is a *noun phrase, not a statement. Statements are sentences* (which that isn't), not noun phrases. – FumbleFingers Jul 19 '18 at 13:55

@FumbleFingers Thank you so much for pointing that out! Fixed my answer to fit your suggestion. Perhaps now you'll not dislike it! – jmrpink Jul 19 '18 at 14:03

I've retracted my downvote - which is only fair given that you've fixed the "error". But I won't upvote because apart from anything else I don't think the question should be here at all (it belongs on English Language Learners). – FumbleFingers Jul 19 '18 at 14:35
