Question Formation
1 min read · 89 words
Questions are begun with the hand sign for "you": the back of the hand pushed towards the person being asked the question. Often this is at the same time as the verbal "you" (iv) or sometimes a verbal name. Then there is a question word (where, how, etc.) and the rest of the question. The question is ended with the hand sign for "you" again.
