is it ok? hi guys. sometimes i don't use auxiliary verbs (like do, does, did etc.) making a question. basically i just make interrogative intonation. so i can speak like that or not?

Without auxiliary verbs, the meaning of your question may change. I.e., Are you working? Vs You work? Первый вопрос значит, вы работаете сейчас? Второй значит вы работаете вообше. Auxiliary verbs are important, both for meaning and politeness. The interrogative tone may sound rude without the auxiliary verbs.
