Questions

There are two basic ways of asking questions in Lojsk. Questions using the Interrogative ‘c_’ grar or questions utilizing the kfeirtcuh’ to take the position of that which is in question.
The following examples show various questions:

ex1[ENG]:      Mark eats what?

ex1[LOJ]:      ?a manj le ii.’ma2k.ii xe cuh q?

 

ex2[ENG]:      Mark eats an apple?

ex2[LOJ]:      ?ca manj le ii.’ma2k.ii xe pom q?

 

ex3[ENG]:      Mark eats an apple?

ex3[LOJ]:      ?a manj le ii.’ma2k.ii x.ce pom q?

 

In the first example the kfeirtcuh’ is used in the place of that thing we are asking about. Here ‘cuh’ is used to question what Mark is eating.

In the second example the grarc_’ is used on the function’s grammatical marker to question whether or not Mark is eating an apple.

In the third example the grarc_’ is used on the apple’s grammatical marker (in the form of a complex grar) to question if the apple was in fact what Mark was eating. This question does not ask whether Mark was eating, just whether he was eating an apple.
