Yes/No Questions with Simple Sentences with Nouns
To form a yes/no question with a simple sentence with a noun, you simply put the regular yes/no question marker lí at the start of the sentence. The noun does not move to the front of the sentence. Some examples are shown in the (2).
(2) (a) Yókw'em te lepót. The cup broke.
(b) Lí yókw'em te lepót? Did the cup break?
(c) Ímex te swíyeqe. The man walked.
(d) Lí ímex te swíyeqe? Did the man walk?
(e) T'ílem te slhá:lí. The woman sang.
(f) Lí t'ílem te slhá:lí? Did the woman sing?
Yékw'elexw vs. Yókw'em
The two verbs yékw'elexw and yókw'em both translate roughly into the English verb to break. However, they are used quite differently:
(1) (a) Yékw'elexwtsel te lepót.
I broke it. [Action has both a doer (-tsel) and a receiver (te lepót)]
(b) Yókw'em te lepót.
The cup broke. [No doer is present, the thing just undergoes the action]
As with the distinctions discussed in the last lesson (e.g. hóqwelexw vs. hóqwem), this is another case where Halq'eméylem uses different verbs depending on whether the action is directed towards some other object or not.
