Line 26: However, ''anu'' was also used to make statements. Eliazar Parra Cárdena's Spanish-language 2004 course ''Toki pona en 76 lecciones ilustradas'' (Toki Pona in 76 Illustrated Lessons), which was translated into many languages, taught usage of ''anu'' in statements and usage in questions side by side, distinguished only by the presence of a question mark or a period. ([https://archive.org/details/toki-pona-in-76-lessons/page/n38/mode/1up source]) ~~=== History ===~~ On February 12th, 2003 jan Sonja introduces the ''anu seme'' construction inspired by the expression ''oder?'' in colloquial German. The difference with the already existing ''ala''-based construction of forming questions is implied to be that the speaker already assumes that the statement before ''anu seme'' is probably true.
