"what you like" vs "what do you like"

Hi, I don't know if the second sentence is correct:

"it depends what you like"

"it depends what do you like"

If yes, what's the difference?

Thanks a lot. I have one more question. Can we use after what/why/where.. - do/did/have.. ?

Like: 'what do you like'. If yes, can we say 'It depends on what do you like' too?

Hi,

No. This is not a question.

It depends on how smart you are.

It depends on what idea you wish to convey.

Thanks, now I understand.

EDIT:

Sorry it's me again but after thinking a while I don't understand again. On wikipedia I found that after "Five Ws" we use question e.g. Why did it happen? I'm really confused now. Is it because of slang? Or maybe when "Five Ws" is at the beginning of a sentance we can use question form?
