Dalcurian interrogative pronouns

back to Dalcurian pronouns

Interrogative pronouns are those such as: who, what, which, where, why and how:

• vehiri who
• vitrö what
• véca which
• væl where
• várö why
• vöes how

When used in an interrogative sense, a question mark is place AFTER the pronoun:

• Vitrö? gä'ságr mæ. What did he say?
• Væl? göria diö. Where are you going?

These can also act as conjunctions:

• Binä qenárax,, vöes tiÞ dérÞ vädenár. I don't know how it got here.
• Sia qenár,, væl mæ habitr. She knows where he lives.

However, if the conjunction is part of a question, then it is still followed with a question mark:

• Sia qenár,, væl? mæ habitr, yil. Does she know where he lives?

NOTE: The pronoun vehiri is not used to introduce a relative clause, eg: the man who was here is my father. See taÞ in the demonstrative pronouns section.
