Questions

How can one have a conversation without questions? (No pun intended.)

Well it's certainly hard and I'm not going to try nor am I going to make you try so here it is.

      Questions are based around a single word: tū-. It is a prefix either attached to a word to make a "question word" (i.e. what, which, who, whom, when, where, why, or how) or stuck on to a verb to replace our "do questions" (e.g. do you like to eat?). The word order is never changed for a question as it is in English for there is no need with the prefix and refrain from using the question words as nouns, instead use the same word without the prefix.

To make the common words which we English-speakers use these words:

tu-leli - what thing? - what?

tu-koda - what human? - who?

tu-teri - what time? - when?

tu-rozi - what place? -where?

tu-tegi - what reason? - why?

tu-kaŋi - what method/way? - how?

tu-tose - what health/condition? - how?

tu- can also be used for "do questions" like so:

Tuteŋase lo kulotata?

Tu - teŋ   -  as     -    e       lo  kul  - o    -   tat       -      a?

?/do like pres. tense indic. you eat infin. gerundive. Nom./Acc

Do you like eating (to eat)?

NOTE: if you want to know the meaning of a Dega word in English or vice versa leave a comment of the word asking for the meaning.


Words to learn:
tu- - what, (as in "what" in "what place" not "what thing")
leli - thing/stuff (plural)
koda - human
teri - time
rozi - place/land
tegi - reason
kaŋi - method/way
tosi - health/condition
rala - to walk/move 
sa - inside/through

A sample sentence:
Ralat koda rozod iman sa.
The person walked through the dead land.
