to ask yes or no questions, you repeat the first word in the predicate
|
|
or preverb by saying <em>word ala word</em>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
to answer a question like this you repeat the word for yes, and say ala
|
|
or word ala for no.

you can also form yes/no questions by appending "anu seme?" to the end.
|
|
(lesson 12 will cover the word anu)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
they are answered the same way as <em>verb ala verb</em> questions, by
|
|
either repeating the word, or saying ala.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
if you're unsure of which word to repeat, you could also just say a
|
|
sentence

<h3 class="title box-title sub-title">~ open-ended questions</h3>

<div class="box">

<p>
|
|
open-ended questions are formed by making a normal sentence and putting
|
|
the word <em>seme</em> where the missing information would go.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
if you have phrased the question correctly, the responder should be able
|
|
to replace the word seme with the answer.
