-- TODO how do negative questions work
|
||||
-- Information questions are not commonly used in negative forms. When they occur they have the same forms as negative declaratives with focus (7.4.1). There is however a strong tendency to use positive forms, for example by subordinating the clause under a verb with an inherently negative meaning:
|
||||
-- Maxaad u tegi weydey?
|
||||
-- what+FOC+you for go:INF failed
|
||||
-- 'Why didn't you go?' (lit. 'Why did you fail to go?')
