== Commands and Questions ==
===Commands===
Commands are formed with the 'subject' of ''a'' followed by the verb in its basic form. The verb can be negated as
well. (If needed, the a sound is elongated to distinguish it from a following vowel)
''a oodit''<br />
IMP run<br />
"Run!"
''
a zroodit''<br />
IMP NEG-run<br />
"Don't run!"
===Questions===
====Yes-No questions====
Yes-no questions are formed by starting the sentence with the question marker ''hlai'', followed by the verb, then
subject and object if applicable.
''hlai agen leed ofoos ga''<br />
QUES see I cow-OBJ that<br />
"Do you see that cow?"
====Question words====
In a sentence that is more complex than a yes or no, question words and phrases are used.
{|
|-
| '''Who''' || ''hlendan''
|-
| '''Who (clique)''' || ''hleed''
|-
| '''What''' || ''hlaas''
|-
| '''When''' || ''hlaitleste''
|-
| '''Where''' || ''hlaipa''
|-
| '''Why''' || ''hlaifelde''
|-
| '''How''' || ''otlaihlai''
|-
| '''How many''' || ''hlaibren''
|}
The question word for the information being used is put into the sentence where the appropriate word would
go.

you COP who/clique<br />
"Who are you?" (lit. "You are who?")
''foos ga odit ebri hlaipa''<br />
