Linguo Questions

In Linguo, questions can be formed in a variety of ways. Found below are the different ways of forming a question, and explanations as to when to use each form.

Polar Questions (Yes-No Questions)
A polar question can be formed (from a sentence) in one of two ways in Linguo:

1. By inverting the subject and verb of the question.

2. By leaving the sentence alone and adding the following particle to the start of the sentence: Somas (lo) set...

3. By leaving the sentence alone, and simply adding a question mark to the end.

The lo is optional, as it is a dummy pronoun.

Both forms of the question are neutral, and should be terminated with a question mark.

Non-Polar Questions (Wh- Questions)
Non-polar questions that use interrogative pronouns can be formed by:

1. Leaving the sentence alone, except for the interrogative pronoun, which is put at the very start of the sentence.

2. Leaving the sentence alone, adding the question particle (Somas (lo) set...).

3. Leaving the sentence, including the interrogative pronoun, alone.

4. Putting the interrogative at the start of the sentence, then the verb, then the rest of the sentence.

For example, Kele to dizas?, Somas (lo) set to dizas kele?, To dizas kele?, or Kele dizas to? are all valid questions.

Interrogative Pronouns
Linguo has one interrogative pronon: kel-.

This pronoun also has a adjective form: kel-.

When used by itself, the pronoun could refer to a person, place, thing, time, etc. If it is unclear what information is being sought with the use of the pronoun, it should be expanded into a noun + adjective form. For example, Hombr- kelam refers specifically to people, while Spas- kelam refers specifically to places.
