Exercise Four
Questions using anō
There have been two ways that questions have been structured:
1 using question words, or interrogatives,
Kei hea aku kākahu? | Where are my clothes? |
2 using a question intonation for sentences that don’t have interrogatives.
Kei reira ō kākahu? | Are your clothes there? |
With the second example, anō will often be introduced into the question pattern and also used for emphasis.
Hei tauira:
I peke ake anō te tohorā i te moana? | Did the whale actually jump out of the sea? |
Kei te haere anō koe ki te kauhoe? | Are you actually going for another swim? |
He take anō tā koutou? | Do you people actually have another matter? |
Kei te rūkahu anō kōrua? | Are you two actually lying? |
