anu: Difference between revisions

In [[{{pu|Toki Pona: The Language of Good]]en}}, the word "''anu"'' is defined, but not explained, outside of its role in [[Questions|"''anu seme"'' typetag questions]].

"''anu"'' remains a debatable subject when it comes to it being able to form questions on its own, without the "''seme"'' or the "''[''predicate''] ala [''predicate'']"'' format. ''pu'' only gives 2 sentences containing "''anu"'' without "''anu seme"'':

* While the first use of "''anu"'' is presented as a statement, "''anu"'' might still act as a kind of choice, and could in some way still work as a disguised question

* While the second use of "''anu"'' is presented as a question, it's not clear if "''anu"'' is responsible - or solely responsible - for forming a question. The "''wile sona"'' might do some heavy lifting

* The second use of "''anu"'' is also not a question in the English sentence (although a question format arises out of the reformulation in toki pona)
