Thank you for breaking it down to such simple basics. I learned another language in my youth while living in the country, that helped a lot but when I got a basic Japanese software about 10 years ago, they made it complicated. I've understood more about the basics with you in one week and a couple videos than with them over a month of study because I understand the why now.
Thank you.

So, if "itsu raamen taberu?" is: "When do you eat ramen.
Then how do you ask: "When do you want to eat ramen?"
So, this is probably why my Japanese friends are frustrated when I try to write Japanese sentences. I am using too many words. Although, when I write to them over the Internet, I have no other way to provide context for them. I also tend to write long sentences, and I have noticed that the longer the sentence, the more difficult it is to translate. Since I do not understand the grammar very well, I have been depending on translators to change English into Japanese. This does not work well on paragraphs like this one. I am hoping I can learn the grammar, so I can express myself more clearly.

I've actually noticed this while watching 嵐にしやがれ。That said, I'm still no good with constructing formal Japanese sentences.

I was gonna to say"すしを食べたぃ"
But its a complet different sentence, because its on my own desire.
Very late, but か is only used in polite, keigo sentences, and follows the polite form of the verb, which in this case would look like 「すしたべますか？」(sushi tabemasu ka?). In the casual form, you know it is a question because there is a rising intonation at the end of the sentence, just like in english, (tabeRU) so か is not needed.

So if you're asking a question, in this case to eat sushi. Why is it not, [すしたべるか。] ? Is the か unnecessary, or is it because of the context of the question being asked, or is it because of the usage of the verb?

すしたべる？ (sushi taberu ?) – Asking if they want to eat sushi.
You might be asking it out of nowhere and therefore you had to mention the sushi itself.
Context is given in the sentence itself.
たべる？ (taberu ?) – Asking if they want to eat.
You might be asking if they want to eat as you're pointing at a sushi restaurant.
Context is either already known or presented through other means.
In the later, the person is supposed to know what you're talking about, even if you don't explicitly say it. It's like asking a person if they want to play with you, as you're holding a chessboard. They would naturally assume that you meant "play chess", right?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

shushi taberu?
so not all questions have to end with か?
that is what I was wondering
What I know is that you can use か at the end of a question to emphasise the question you're asking.
Very late, but か is only used in polite, keigo sentences, and follows the polite form of the verb, which in this case would look like 「すしたべますか？」(sushi tabemasu ka?).

Sushi taberu or taberu
Sushi taberu, or taberu ? I'm comfius 😅
Think of it like this:
すしたべる？ (sushi taberu ?) – Asking if they want to eat sushi.
You might be asking it out of nowhere and therefore you had to mention the sushi itself.
Context is given in the sentence itself.
たべる？ (taberu ?) – Asking if they want to eat.
You might be asking if they want to eat as you're pointing at a sushi restaurant.
Context is either already known or presented through other means.
