Questions in Slavic languages   Message List

Dear friends,

how are questions formed in Slavic langs?

I know Polish has a question particle _czy_,
famously borrowed into Esperanto as _chu_.
Is this parallelled in the other Slavlangs?

If so, how might a Romano-Slavic language copy
this? What does Wenedyk do, Jan?

"Maybe" is a strange word. When mum or dad says it
it means "yes", but when my big brothers say it it
