==Questions== Closed yes/no questions follow the X-not-X pattern but with a twist. You use the word you're questioning and then its negated form. <blockquote> ''sína li mòk ɲæt?'' - Are you eating? </blockquote> The tone on the second word is mid, to help it sound like a question. Possible answers are <blockquote> ''mòk'' - yes<br> ''ɲæ̀t'' - no. </blockquote> Or you can prefix it with ''lì ɰɒ-án'' <blockquote> ''sína li lì ɰɒ-án mòk?'' - Are you eating? </blockquote> <blockquote> ''lì'' - yes<br> ''mòk'' - yes<br> ''ɰɒ̀'' - no<br> ''ɰɒ̀-án mòk'' - no </blockquote> Open-ended questions use "unu sem". <blockquote> ''sína li mòk unu sem?'' - Are you eating?<br> ''kál unu sem li lòn-póki?'' - Are there fish in the box? </blockquote> zèm/sém can make non-polar questions. <blockquote> ''ján zèm li dòk?'' - Who's talking?<br> ''sína li bàl-sém?'' - What are you making? </blockquote>
