In questions, ''iss'', ''kuss'' and ''will'' usually appear in their optative forms ''yē'', ''kynē'' and ''wylē''. The latter two are used to make polite requests or offers. | |||

| gloss = be.OPT 3SG.N INDEF conlang | |||
| translation = Is that a conlang? | |||

| phrase = Wylē ji itiss oss ytē? | |||
| gloss = want.OPT 2SG something PREP eat-INF | |||
| translation = Would you like something to eat? | |||
}} | |||
The particle ''nyē'' can be placed at the end of a sentence to form a tag question. | |||
{{Gloss | |||

| gloss = 2SG speak none Kunesian Q | |||
| translation = You don't speak Kunesian, do you? | |||
