There are two types of questions in Arusian. There are questions with
the question marker, h,auPh which is used to indicated a non yes/no
question is being asked. When a h,auPh question is asked, the listener is
expected to respond with a non yes/no question, and give details. There
are also questions using the interogation marker hapeNh which is place in
front or at the end of a question as an adverb. When a hapeNh question is
asked, the listener is expected to respond with a yes/no question.
Below are some common ways of how to ask questions in Arusian:
