there are two ways to ask yes/no questions, and one way to ask an

open-ended one

<h3 class="title box-title sub-title">~ word ala word</h3>

<div class="box box-top">
|

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

</p>

<div class="quote">

<p class="sentence">

<p>~ do you want to work?</p>

<p>~ is this person cute in your opinion?</p>

|
|
<p>~ yes / no</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
it can also be possible to use the <i>word ala word</i> method on other
|
|
parts of speech than the preverb or predicate. this is sometimes done
|
|
for emphasis.

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

<div class="quote">
|
|
<p class="sentence">sina moku anu seme?</p>

<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.
