Ne is used to indicate a question

• The ne is usually the second word in a sentence.

Why call them simple questions?

• The reason we call them simple questions is that
  you can only get basic yes or no responses. If a
  person wants to tell more he or she could but the
  question it set up for a yes or no type response.

How do we ask questions with more depth?

• In a later lesson we will address how to ask
  who,what,when,where questions in more depth. We
  have already had a few pop up in previous
  lessons. They will be addressed in depth in there
  own section.

Which word is the word are?

• Gmaji ne? Are you leaving?
• Maji ne? Is she leaving?
• Gmajimen ne? Are we all leaving?
• The answer is none. When we translate the word
  back into English makes more sense to say are you
  leaving instead of the literal you leave question.

Final thoughts

• These type questions are simple enough you should
  be able to start using them right away with your
  AI verbs from previous lesson. Just remember to
  put the ne second in the sentence but dont put
  it between the pronoun and the verb.
• So dont say gwi ne maji? This would be incorrect.
