Questions and Indefinites

Questions

To change a statement into a question, simply add the question marker glyph at the end of the sentence. If you want to ask for specific information (i.e. who, what, where, etc.) simply combine the question marker glyph with the type of thing you want to know (i.e. person, object, location, etc.) and place the combination glyph where the answer would be in the response.

(e.g. "You are the teacher?" = Are you the teacher?)
(i.e. Q: The book is question-place?  (Where is the book?) A: The book is at my house.)



Indefinite

The indefinite marker glyph has the same combinations as the question marker glyph, but instead create words that are equivalent to words that start with "some-" in English (i.e. somebody, something, somewhere, etc.). Pluralizing the "some-" glyphs makes them equivalent to words that start with "any-" (i.e. anybody, anything, anywhere, etc.) while negating them makes them equivalent to words that start with "no-" (i.e. nobody, nothing, nowhere, etc.).


Combinations

person: who, someone, anyone, nobody
thing: what, something, anything, nothing
place: where, somewhere, anywhere, nowhere
time: when, sometime, anytime, never
reason: why, n/a, n/a
do: how, somehow, n/a, n/a
