Syntax
Question Particles
In High-Fomorian, questions and answers are usually given with a particle in front of the conjugated verb, as well as eclipsing the verb. This is how you would use this grammatical feature.
Positive question | Causes the verb to undergo Eclipsis following the particle: anˠan Öchaíonnann nöchaíonn /anˠ ˌnˠøːxaˈiːɔnˠ/ [anˠ nˠøːˈxiːnˠ] generic question particle |
Negative question | Causes the verb to undergo Eclipsis following the particle: nˠaxnach Öchaíonnnach nöchaíonn /nˠax nˠøːˌxaiːˈɔnˠ/ [nˠax nˠøːˈxiːnˠ] negative question particle |
Negative statement | Causes the verb to undergo Lenition following the particle: niːní öchaíonnní öchaíonn /niː øːˌxaiːˈɔnˠ/ [niː øːˈxiːnˠ] negative verb particle |
Examples
Negative Questionnach nírín thídh
nach nírín thídh
curse_(hex)-SG.2.PRS:V-NEG.Q:V 2.SG.F.ACC:PRON
“Are you cursed?”
Negative Statement
ní mhdöraíonn euer
ní mhdöraíonn euer
help-PL.3.:PRS:V-NEG.S:V 3.PL.M.ACC:PRON
“They are not helping.”
Standard Question
This is similar to using the 'no' in Spanish or 'non' in French. The simple particle is used to negate an entire action.
ann Génítíst dáidh
ann ngénítíst dáidh
do:v-SG.2.PST:V-POS.Q 2.SG.NT.ACC:PRON
“What were you doing?”
