In the book {{pu|en}}, the word {{tp|anu}} is defined, but not explained outside of its role in [[Questions#anu|{{tp|anu seme}} tag questions]]. The book only provides 2 sentences containing {{tp|anu}} without {{tp|anu seme}}:▼
==={{tp|pu}}===
{{Example▼
In the "[[Dictionary (pu)|Official Toki Pona Dictionary]]" section, the book {{pu|en}} defines {{tp|awen}} as:
|mi kute e mije anu meli.▼
|I hear a man or a woman. (answer to Lesson 7)▼
}}▼
{{pu def}}
{{Example▼
|wile sona nanpa wan li ni: ale li pona anu ike?▼
|The most fundamental question we can ever ask ourselves is whether or not the universe we live in is friendly or hostile. (Quote misattributed to {{w|Albert Einstein}})▼
===
For {{ku|en}}, respondents in {{tp|[[ma pona pi toki pona]]}} translated these English words as {{tp|awen}}:<ref>{{cite ku|203}}</ref>
* In the first sentence, {{tp|anu}} is presented as a statement. It might still act as a kind of chioce and could in some way work as a question.▼
* While in the second sentence, {{tp|anu}} is presented as a question. It is not clear whether {{tp|anu}} is responsible for forming this question, or if the phrase {{tp|wile sona}} is. That sentence is also not question in the English translation. Although this arises out of the reformulation of format. A literal translation may include a question: "the foremost question is this: is the universe good or bad?"▼

===Pre-{{tp|pu}} usage===

In the learning course [[Toki Pona in 76 illustrated lessons]] ({{w|Spanish language|Spanish}}: ''{{lang|es|Toki pona en 76 lecciones ilustradas}}''), the usage of {{tp|anu}} was taught in statements and questions side by side, distinguished only by the presence of a question mark or a period.<ref>Cárdenas, Eliazar Parra (2009).
