Asking a question in Seuna

Y/N questions

There are three ways that a Y/N question can be asked.

1) HA opens the sentence.

2) KA closes the sentence. ? RO KA ... a question or a statement ?

3) A question can also be posed by giving a rising intonation at the end of the sentence (the same as English). There must be a special question mark when you use this method. Seuna does have a special mark, it is only used when you pose a question using method 3, if you pose a question using methods 1 or 2, the special mark is not used.

WH questions

what toi
why toiji
who nai
whose naige
when toiku
where toida
how witoi
what type of ?? toita
how many noi
how much mejai
which, what one, which one toiba

no = number meja = amount

Indefinite basic concepts

whatever maju
whoever laju
whenever kuju
wherever fiju
however alju
any type of taju
?? how many, how much ?? juno
?? whichever one ?? baju

When did you say. "When" indicates a qustion but also extreme indefiniteness

"I will come whenever you say" ... Is this really a RC ... time is never a very strongly held argument of a sentence but is always a very peripheral thing.

Question word => Indefinite pronoun

Question word => RC-marker
