'''{{tp|su}}''' is a [[nonstandard]] [[question]]-marking [[particle]].
 
==Etymology==
{{Needs work|2scope=section}}
The particle {{tp|su}} is derived from the {{w|Esperanto}} interrogative particle ''{{lang|eo|{{wikt|ĉu#Esperanto|ĉu}}}}'' {{IPA|/t͡ʃu/}}.{{citation needed|date=2024-02-04}} <!--It was coined by [whom?] in [when?].-->
This word was coined before those [[Reserved words|reserved for future use]] by {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}},{{citation needed|date=2024-01-17}} of which {{tp|[[su]]}} was one.<ref>{{cite ku|351}}</ref> Combined with the fact that it is nonstandard and absent from {{tok|[[Linku]]}}, the particle {{tp|su}} is likely to fall out of use after the release of the book series {{su}}. Similar, though less severe, conflicts apply to {{tp|[[lu]]}} (conflicting with a synonym of {{tp|[[lo]]}}) and {{tp|[[nu]]}} (conflicting with a synonym of {{tp|[[sin]]}}).
